Cricket will return after 128 years in the Olympics to be held in Los Angeles in 2028. Fans are eagerly waiting for this much awaited return. Information has been revealed about the date of matches to be held now. In fact, compared to cricket, about 50 km from Los Angeles, Pomena will be played at the Fairgrounds Stadium in the city of Pomena from July 12, 2028. Its medal matches will be held on 20 and 29 July 2028. According to the schedule of the competition, two matches will be played on most days, while there will be no match on July 14 and 21. Let me tell you that last year, the International Olympic Committee approved the inclusion of cricket, baseball, flag football, lacros and squash in the 2028 Olympic Games.
The last time cricket was part of the Paris Olympics in the year 1900. During that time a two -day match was played between Great Britain and France. It is now counted as an unofficial test. However, 6 teams will be seen playing in T20 format at the Los Angeles Olympics. Not only this, the organizers have also fixed the maximum number of players in a team. The organizers have said that one team will have 15 players. A maximum coat of 90 players has been fixed in both male and female categories. This means that there will be a maximum of 90 players. A total of 6-6 teams in the men’s and women category and 180 players in the Olympics will participate in the smallest format T20 in the Olympics.
The ICC currently has 12 regular and 94 associate members. Regular members are teams from Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe. However, there is no information about the qualification process for the 2028 Olympics so far. America is considered to be playing in this, as they will get the benefit of host quota. This means that apart from America, five more teams will be able to participate. And they have to undergo a qualification response.
