Cricket in Olympics: LA 2028 organisers recommend sport's inclusion in 34th Games
Cricket could finally make a comeback into the Summer Olympics after more than a century with the organisers of the 2028 Games in Los Angeles making a formal recommendation for including the T20 version of the sport.
Cricket was listed among the proposed “new” sports alongside baseball/softball, flag football, lacrosse and squash. There was however, no mention of breaking — which makes its debut in the Paris Olympics that takes place next summer.
If cricket makes the cut, it would be the first time it has featured since 1900, when a team from Britain beat a side representing France in Paris.
Five sports have been proposed by the @LA28 Organising Committee for inclusion at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in five years’ time:
⚾ Baseball-softball
