    Broadcast market, role of BCCI and ICC played important role

    The billion-dollar broadcasting market, the positive attitude of the game’s most powerful board and the brilliant presentation of the global body played an important role in the inclusion of cricket in the Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles in 2028. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been working closely with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Los Angeles Games Local Organizing Committee for the past two years to include cricket in the Olympics.

    ICC gave a great presentation

    The presentation made by the ICC to the IOC and the Local Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games 2028 was mainly based on the three principles of universality, popularity and legacy. Universality means the appeal of cricket and the support it provides to the Olympic movement. ICC emphasized that India is the most populous country in the world and has a large TV and digital market. Both the IOC and the local organizing committee will benefit from the broadcast revenue from India.
