After a gap of 128 years, cricket is set to make a historic return to the Olympics at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The last and only time cricket was featured in the Olympics was in 1900, when Great Britain played a two-day match against France. Now, the sport is making a comeback, with six teams participating in the LA 2028 edition. Each team will consist of a 15-member squad, with 90 athlete quotas allocated per gender, allowing for both men’s and women’s competitions.
There is growing speculation that Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli could be part of the Indian squad, aiming to finish his illustrious career with an Olympic gold. Although the qualification process for the six cricket teams has not yet been finalized, cricket’s return to the global sporting stage has created immense excitement. The International Cricket Council (ICC) currently has 12 full members, including cricketing powerhouses like India, Australia, England, and Pakistan, along with 94 associate members.
The development marks a significant milestone for the sport, which continues to grow globally. Fans across the world are eager to see their favorite players, possibly including Kohli, showcase their talents in one of the world’s biggest sporting events.
