During the Eid-ul-Fitr party at Sydney Cricket Ground, prayers were offered in the congregation by giving Adhan during Maghrib prayers.
In this regard, Pakistan’s High Commissioner to Australia Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry also shared some pictures on social media and said that the echo of the call to prayer at the Sydney Cricket Ground is a real fusion of different cultures, beliefs and races in Australia.

Last month, for the first time, the Iftar was organized by the England and Wales Cricket Board at the Home of Cricket Lords with the participation of many important personalities.
Adhan Maghrib in Lord’s Long Room touched the hearts of the guests whose video went viral on social media.
You need not be a person of faith, only a person in possession of a soul, to find the adhan call to prayer reverberating around the @HomeOfCricket Long Room spine-tingling. A beautiful moment. pic.twitter.com/PGN2EsksOC
