During his UK visit, PM Narendra Modi met young players from Buckinghamshire Street Cricket Hubs alongside UK PM Keir Starmer. At Chequers, Modi gifted a bat signed by India’s 2024 T20 World Cup-winning team, highlighting cricket’s role in India-UK people-to-people ties. Modi used a cricket metaphor to describe bilateral ties: “There may be a swing and a miss at times, but we always play with a straight bat.” The leaders signed a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement and endorsed India-UK Vision 2035, boosting market access, skilled migration, and business partnerships between the two democracies.
