Acting high commissioner

The High Commission: The High Commission of India in Canberra extended a warm welcome to the Indian women’s team ahead of their second T20I of the three-match series against Australia, hosting the players and support staff at a special reception in Canberra.

The Indian contingent, led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, attended the gathering organised by the diplomatic mission, which highlighted the strong support extended to the team even while competing overseas. Such engagements often provide players with a sense of familiarity and motivation, particularly during demanding international tours.

“It is truly a privilege for our team to be here at the Indian embassy in Australia. On behalf of the Indian women’s cricket team, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for this warm welcome and for making us feel at home. To the Indian community in Australia, to the Indian diaphorum, your support means more than you can imagine. Your encouragement strengthens us. Thank you once again to the embassy for hosting us and for constantly supporting Indian sports and Indian excellence abroad. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat,” head coach Amol Muzumdar said in an address.
