The 75 Years of Friendship through Cricket Event was an event hosted by Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, who invited his counterpart Prime Minister of Australia Anthony Albanese for a Test match to celebrate 75 years of diplomatic ties on 9 March 2023, exercising cricket diplomacy. The 75 Years of Friendship through Cricket Event was a celebration of the strong ties between India and Australia.
It was the fourth and final test match of the 2023 iteration of the Border–Gavaskar Trophy, and the match was drawn after Australia declared their second innings. India won the series 2–1.
Foreign diplomatic relations between Australia and India are well-established, with both nations sharing a "Comprehensive Strategic Partnership" since both were part of the British Empire. Both are members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and share political, economic, security, lingual and sporting ties. Besides strong trading & migration and culture, sports such as cricket have emerged as a strong cultural connection between the two nations.
On 2 April 2022, India-Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (IndAus ECTA) was signed between the two countries to enhance bilateral economic cooperation and increase trade. The agreement was signed by Piyush Goyal, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Textiles, Government of India and Dan Tehan, the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, Government of Australia in a virtual ceremony, in the presence of Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi and the Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison.
PM Albanese visited India in March 2023. During the visit, he also led a trade delegation, which included Trade Minister Don Farrell and Resources Minister Madeleine King, after the implementation of the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) between Australia and India on 29 December 2022. It was during this trip when Albanese attended the "75 Years of Friendship through Cricket Event".
In 1996, the Border–Gavaskar Trophy was created, a test series played between Australia and India, named after 2 legendary test players – Sunil Gavaskar of India and Allan Border of Australia. India has won the trophy ten times, while Australia has won it five times with one series ending in a draw. The event took place in the 2023 edition of the series.
India and Australia have also participated in other major global cricket tournaments and are both ICC member nations. As of 2024, Australia has won 6 Cricket World Cups while India has 2; India has won 2 T20 World Cups while Australia has 1. India has won 3 Champions Trophies while Australia has won 2.
"Australia was the first country in the world with whom India had formal diplomatic relations after independence, and cricket has been at the heart of their relationship. Indeed, months after independence, Australia and India played first test match together when India toured Australia in 1947–48. And cricket is perhaps the best symbol of what we have in common as two countries."
