Jay Mohan, the 35-year-old Secretary of the Wyndham Jags Cricket Club (WJCC), clearly never takes his eye off the ball. “My aim is to develop and promote multicultural, recreational and social activities among different groups and communities,” says Mohan, on his vision for Wyndham.
Born in India, and a graduate of management studies, after working four years in the UK, in 2007, Jay migrated to Australia.
Currently working for a leading logistics company in Melbourne, Jay is also an active member of a social community group in Wyndham (WMCG) and a founding member of the WJCC, one of the fastest growing cricket clubs in Australia. He was instrumental in starting a cricket tournament—Jags Premier League—to cater to the demand in Wyndham for affordable and accessible opportunities for different communities. He is also an active participant in organising breakfast club in schools around Wyndham.
He is now working on promoting the world’s biggest diverse community sports activity in Melbourne with the help of Wyndham city council and Cricket Victoria.
Jay lives in Wyndham with his wife Smitha and daughter Veda.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
