Having Cricket In Olympics Opens Up Completely Different Audience, Says Ponting
The International Olympic Committee: Legendary Australia cricketer Ricky Ponting said having cricket in the 2028 Olympic Games at the Los Angeles will just open up a completely different audience for the game.
Cricket last featured in the Olympics in 1900, and the sport is set to make its long-awaited comeback at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Cricket was among the five additional sports proposed by the LA28 Organising Committee for inclusion alongside baseball-softball, flag football, lacrosse and squash.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially confirmed cricket's inclusion at the 141st IOC Session held in Mumbai in October last year. “It can only be a positive thing for our game. I've sat on various committees over the last 15 or 20 years and it's always been on the top of almost every agenda – how do we get the game back into the Olympics? And finally, it's there.”
