The International Olympic Committee met in Mumbai on October 16. In the meeting, T20 has been included as a new sport for the 2028 Olympics.
T20 cricket has been approved as one of the five new sports for Los Angeles 2028, with the other sports including flag football, baseball, soccer, lock russ and squash.
The US ambassador to India, Eric Gar setty, told reporters in Mumbai on Monday night that his passion for cricket had increased during his stay in Britain. But after coming to India, their craze has increased even more.
T20 Cricket
India became crazy about the T20 format after that because the T20 format is very fast cricket.
Most people take five days to watch a Test match or around seven hours to watch an ODI match. It is a three-hour game and you can enjoy cricket in it.
Before this, cricket was included in the Olympics held in Paris in 1900, where only one match was played between Great Britain and France.
Gar Setti said that the day of the Olympics is the best day for cricket fans in India, America, and everywhere.
I think the new generation of athletes and fans will be more excited about it. It is being launched with the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
His vote took place on Monday, just as India is hosting the men’s 50-over ODI Cricket Cup.
The purpose of adding T20 cricket is that this league will become well-known in America, but we will also have more facilities and fans.
Gar Setti also supports the concept of an Olympic truce, he said, adding that the Olympic truce used to be a tradition at the Olympics in ancient times when everyone laid down their arms. That peace is a thousand times better than war
