Cricket’s return to the Olympics after 128 years at the 2028 Olympics Games was a foregone conclusion.
However, the LA Local Organising Committee’s (LALOG) proposal to include the sport, along with four others (squash, baseball/softball, lacrosse and flag football), failed to receive unanimous support at the International Olympic Committee’s 141st Session here as two of the 99 members voted against it.
“To have the opportunity to showcase our great sport at the LA28 Games and hopefully many Olympic Games to come will be great for players and fans alike,” International Cricket Committee Chairman Greg Barclay said.
