<h1>Indian-Origin Entrepreneurs Use Cricket to Boost Community Ties and Cultural Inclusion in the U.S.</h1> A community-driven cricket organization led by Indian-origin entrepreneurs in the U.S. engaged with a U.S. senator during a private event in New Jersey, discussing the sport's growing role within the Indian diaspora and multicultural youth. The senator received symbolic gifts recognizing his leadership and participated in conversations about cricket's rising popularity and potential for fostering inclusion and community development. The organization aims to expand cricket chapters in New Jersey and beyond, using the sport as a tool for cultural connection and education. This interaction represents an effort to position cricket as a form of soft power and a means to enhance cross-cultural dialogue between the U.S. and India.
