The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Cricket will return to the Olympics for the first time since 1900 at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, with the IOC citing access to cricket's fan base of more than 2 billion people and the commercial power of the Indian market.
- The IOC says there is already strong interest in broadcasting rights for the Indian subcontinent, potentially worth a multiple of the roughly $30 million Paris 2024 contract.
- The three-hour T20 format was key to the sport's inclusion, following the IOC's recognition of the ICC in 2010 and 2014 reforms allowing host cities to propose additional sports.
- Cricket is expected to stay on the Olympic programme beyond 2028, with the ICC noting that nearly half of the sport's followers are under 35.
