Narendra Modi delighted to visit Melbourne Cricket Ground

Modi happy to visit MCG

New Delhi: Nov 6, 2014

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Thursday he was happy he would be hosted by his Australian counterpart at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. Modi is currently in Australia and is being hosted by the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott. In September, Abbott was in India and was in delegation with Adam Gilchrist and Brett Lee. Cricket is one binding factor. Sachin Tendulkar was honoured by the Order of Australia and Abbott met him on his visit recently.

“Cricket is a shared passion of Australia and India,” Modi said in a tweet. “I thank PM Tony Abbott for hosting me at the iconic … ground.”
