After 128 years, there is a chance that cricket will return in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. International Olympic Committee members will formally vote on 14-16 October.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) board on Friday approved including cricket and four other games in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The other sports were
baseball/softball, flag football (non-contact American football), squash, and lacrosse. The IOC will now vote at its session in
Mumbai from 14 to 16 October to finalize the decision.
In its proposal, the
Los Angeles Games Organising Committee recommended cricket in its T20 version for the
2028 Olympics. The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed receiving this proposal as well.
"The inclusion will ... allow the Olympics to engage with new athletes and fan communities in the US and globally", IOC President Thomas Bach said.
Cricket originally made its Olympic debut in the 1900
Paris Games.
India is hosting the
IOC session for the second time, after a gap of about 40 years. Prime Minister
Narendra Modi will inaugurate the 141st International Olympic Committee (IOC) session on 14 October 2023. The IOC's 86th session was held in
New Delhi in 1983, a press release from the
Prime Minister's Office (PMO) read.
