New Delhi: It is just a matter of two weeks, from June 7 the final of the World Test Championship between India and Australia will begin. This match is also an example of the growing rivalry between the two teams. The competition between the two teams on the cricket field has become very tough in the last few years. Apart from the field, however, the relationship between the two countries has become very strong and cricket has also played a role in this. This is the reason why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a special invitation to the Australian Prime Minister.
PM Modi is on a foreign trip these days, where he reached Australia after Japan and Papua New Guinea. In Australia, where PM Modi met Australian PM Anthony Albanese, he also participated in a program of overseas Indians in Sydney. The Australian Prime Minister was also present in this event.
Australian PM came to watch the World Cup
In this event, the PM not only talked about his government and India-Australia relations, he also invited the Australian PM to visit India. Modi’s invitation was regarding the ODI World Cup to be held in India this year. The World Cup is to be held in India in October-November this year and to further the diplomacy of both countries through cricket, the Prime Minister invited PM Albanese to be a part of the tournament.

This is the second meeting of the Prime Ministers of both the countries within the last 3 months. Even before this both had met on the pretext of cricket. Then in March, on the first day of the fourth Test match between India and Australia, the leaders of both the countries witnessed this match.
There are many such things in Australia, which keep the Indian people connected to their roots. It is a matter of happiness that the people of Australia also like the various colors of Indianness. pic.twitter.com/qBhTffw7xC
