Cricket will take centrestage not only as a sport but as a powerful connector of communities, when the Australia India Business Council (AIBC) Victoria hosts an engaging panel event titled “It’s Not Just Cricket” on August 6, 2025.

The panel will feature a vibrant mix of South Asian sporting legends, multicultural leaders, and prominent business figures. Together, they will explore how the shared passion for cricket strengthens the cultural fabric of Australian society while also deepening people-to-people and diplomatic ties between Australia and India.
Highlighting cricket as both a social and economic bridge, the event aims to demonstrate the sport’s growing role in enhancing bilateral relationships, encouraging diversity, and uniting communities across backgrounds.
