Ministry of External Affairs

NEW DELHI: The Centre is looking to use 'cricket for diplomacy' by granting free access of India's cricketing facilities to Commonwealth nations, Indian Express reports.

The government is likely to make an open invitation to nations for the same, at the Commonwealth Heads of Government (CHOGM) summit, scheduled for April in London.

Officials from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) have discussed the proposal with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
