The meeting came after a militant Hindu group issued a threat to Australian cricketers on their way to the sub-continent for the Indian Premier League.
Mr Crosswhite said the threat was discussed with the officials including representatives from ASIO and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
"We are going to continue to get this kind of thing (the Hindu threat) all the way up to the Games," he said.
The entanglement of sport and terror had become a sore point, Mr Crosswhite admitted.
"The Commonwealth Games is a friendly competition.
"Sport is a great vehicle for peace."
