Cricket At Youth Olympics 2030: Cricket is going to make a comeback in the great sports event i.e. Olympic Games after 128 years. Olympic Games are going to be held in Los Angeles in the year 2028, where cricket will also be played between countries from all over the world. Meanwhile, an update has come out that cricket can also be seen in the Youth Olympic Games of the year 2030. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has given a big indication that it can collaborate with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to include cricket in the 2030 Youth Olympic Games (YOG). However, there is no official confirmation about this yet.
According to media reports, the idea of including cricket in the Youth Olympics came from an announcement by the Indian government, expressing its intention to bid to host the 2030 Youth Olympics (YOG) and the 2036 Olympics. ICC General Manager William Glenwright, responding to Vivek Gopalan’s email, said, “It’s a good idea (proposing to include cricket in the Youth Olympics) and we will think about it.”
Gopalan’s email and Glenwright’s response were also sent to ICC CEO Geoff Allardice, Wasim Khan, Claire Furlong and Chris Tetley. Gopalan has argued that cricket has strong potential in the Youth Olympic Games and Mumbai is bidding for the 2030 Youth Olympics. Gopalan wrote to the ICC that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has publicly expressed his desire to host the Youth Olympics 2030 and the 2036 Olympics.
PM Modi had given indications
It is worth noting that PM Modi, while addressing the session of Youth Olympics in Mumbai in October last year, had indicated that India’s focus is now on Olympics 2036. He had also discussed Olympics 2036 in his Independence Day speech.
The email sent to the ICC presents arguments for cricket’s inclusion in the Youth Olympics, saying that just as top sports like rugby sevens are part of the Youth Olympics, cricket should also be included. The email talks about the strong relationship between the ICC and the Olympic Committee and the brand of cricket promoting the Olympic brand.
Cricket will return to Olympics after 128 years
Let us tell you that cricket is going to make a comeback in the Olympic Games. In October 2023, the IOC has given permission to include squash, baseball/softball, lacrosse and flag football along with cricket in the Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles in the year 2028. The cricket tournament in that Olympics will be played in T-20 format. In this way, cricket will make a comeback in the Olympics after 128 years. This is a big achievement for cricket.
