After a Century-Long Absence, Cricket Returns in 2028
In a historic decision, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has voted to reintroduce cricket to the Olympic Games. Cricket will make its long-awaited return at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California, United States. This will be the second edition of Olympic cricket, with the first being held in 1900 in Paris.
The return of cricket to the Olympics is a significant moment for the sport, which has been absent from the Games for over a century. Cricket has a rich history and is played and enjoyed by millions of people worldwide. The inclusion of cricket in the 2028 Olympics is a testament to the sport's global appeal and its growing popularity.
