Exciting Developments for Cricket in Egypt

In a significant diplomatic and sporting development, Ambassador Suresh K. Reddy recently met with H.E. Dr. Ashraf Sobhy, Egypt's Minister of Youth & Sports. Their discussions focused on enhancing bilateral cooperation between India and Egypt through the promotion of cricket, youth exchange initiatives, and the popularization of yoga for health and wellness. Both leaders agreed to explore joint events, training programs, and cultural sports ties to bring the youth of both nations closer.

This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in the development of cricket in Egypt. The formation of the Cricket Committee under the General Egyptian Sports for All Federation is a testament to the growing interest and support for the sport. A crucial meeting is scheduled for August 18, 2025, where the committee will finalize the executive committee and discuss preparations for hosting the International Cricket Council (ICC) delegation in September 2025.

The upcoming visit of the ICC delegation is highly anticipated, especially with the appointment of Sanjog Gupta as the new ICC Chief Executive. Gupta, previously the CEO of JioStar Sports, brings over two decades of experience in sports broadcasting and commercialization. His leadership is expected to bolster the global reach and development of cricket. His involvement in the delegation underscores the importance of Egypt's cricketing aspirations on the international stage.(icc)
