Cricket has only featured once at the 1900 Paris Olympic Games, with Great Britain and hosts France as the only participants. According to ESPN Cricinfo, the development comes a day after the ICC was formally invited by both the LA28 and IOC to submit presentation in order to make their case considered.
However, a final decision is expected to be announced ahead of the IOC session in Mumbai in mid-2023. The other eight sports in consideration are baseball/softball, flag football, lacrosse, break dancing, karate, kick-boxing, squash, and motorsport.
