Chennai: The Australians are planning to use cricket diplomacy to strengthen ties with India.
While the Prime Ministers of the two countries, Tony Abbott and Narendra Modi, will be making history in virtual back-to-back bilateral meetings in September and November / December in India and Australia respectively, the Australians are keen to bring the Bradman Gallery from the Bradman Museum and International Cricket Hall of Fame on a road show to India next year in which the exhibition will be held for a month in each of the cities it tours.
They are hoping that before the Bradman show hits India, Mr. Modi would have paid a visit to the world famous Bradman Foundation’s museum in Bowral near Sydney when he goes to Australia for the G20 in Brisbane in December. Mr Modi is scheduled to go to Canberra for a bilateral meeting with Abbott before or after the G20 meeting. Mr Abbott is due to visit New Delhi in September.
Representatives of the Bradman Foundation are currently on a five-city tour of India to finalise arrangements for bringing over the interactive show. Of the cities planned, Bengaluru is certainly one, besides Mumbai, Kolkata and New Delhi.
