The emergence of stars like Rachin Ravindra in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 for New Zealand, hailing from Indian origin, signals a growing trend. This trend persists in the current ICC U19 World Cup 2024, where Snehith Reddy, another Indian-origin talent, is making waves, recently scoring a century in the tournament.
Notable Indian-origin players who have represented or currently represent New Zealand include Dipak Patel, Jeetan Patel, Ish Sodhi, and Ajaz Patel.
Shifting focus to Australia, the Pakistani-origin player Usman Khawaja witnessed a career boom, and now, Indian-origin players are making strides in the ongoing ICC U19 World Cup 2024. Harjas Singh, a left-handed batter, is capturing attention.
In the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, the Australian squad featured Tanveer Sangha, an Indian-origin leg-spinner. Arjun Nair, an Indian-origin mystery spinner representing New South Wales, adds to the diversity. Jason Sangha, born on September 8, 1999, in New South Wales, led the Australian team in the 2018 ICC U19 World Cup, emerging as the leading run-scorer with 229 runs. Gurinder Sandhu, the first male cricketer of Indian ancestry to represent Australia, was born on June 14, 1993, in Blacktown, New South Wales. His parents, originally from Faridkot district, Punjab, migrated to Australia.
Nikhil Chaudhary, an Indian-born cricketer and an aspirant to represent Australia, currently plays for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League.
The cricketing landscape is evolving, and the increasing presence of subcontinent players in New Zealand and Australia. Is this due to a lack of opportunities in the subcontinent or a high rate of migration to New Zealand and Australia?
