There is good news for cricket fans. After years of discussion, cricket could finally make a comeback in the Olympics after a gap of 128 years. The upcoming 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles are rumored to include four new sports including cricket, flag football, baseball, and softball.
According to a report by The Guardian, the organizing committee is expected to officially confirm the inclusion of these new sports within the next 24 hours. Additionally, proposals to include lacrosse and squash in the 2028 Olympic Games may also be considered.
This matter has seen a lot of discussion between Los Angeles and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The official announcement will reveal whether cricket will be a part of the 2028 Olympics and if so, in which format it will be played.
It is noteworthy that this will not be the first time that cricket will be a part of the Olympics. Cricket was included in the 1900 Paris Olympics, where only one match was played, between France and Great Britain. Great Britain emerged victorious, securing a gold medal in cricket. Now, after 128 years, cricket is likely to return to the Olympic stage.
