A six-team event has been proposed, but no decision has been made on how they will qualify.

Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, said the sports selected will make the LA Games “unique,” with plenty of cricketers praising the selection.

Cricket’s inclusion could also increase the Olympics’ estimated 3 billion viewers, which would be a win for the sport.

Yash, who plays for Slough Cricket Club, lived in India until he was 18 and says the Olympics aren’t really watched there.

The 22-year-old tells Asian Network that people only know Usain Bolt.

There are only wealthy families who watch cricket, not the people who live in villages. But now cricket is in, then 100% of people will start watching it.

The second most popular sport in the world after football is cricket, played by nearly half the world’s population.

In those parts of the world, cricket is a religion. Major League Cricket launched in the United States this year, and the T20 World Cup will also take place there next year.

Yash’s teammate Mohammed can only benefit from cricket becoming more popular in the US.

As part of the LA Games, the 25-year-old is even more motivated to move there for his cricket career.

There is a three-year qualification rule for the ICC, so if I decide to play for the US, I would have to spend three years there,” he says.
