England spinner Sarah Glenn says cricket would be the perfect fit for the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

International Olympic Council president Thomas Bach has hinted in a recent interview that he would like to see T20 cricket added to the roster of sports at the 2028 Los Angeles games.<\/p>\n

Glenn was part of the squad that represented England at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and would relish the chance to play in LA.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely, cricket is a sport that can fit anywhere and it would be exciting if that happens,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a weird feeling because we are used to driving towards the World Cup and Ashes, they are such unique events for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will have a weird feeling to start with but it would develop into something that we would really want to win and take charge of, a bit like when we were in the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t know what to expect, the opening ceremony was very different, but once we got out there it was just a game of cricket.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully, it could also open cricket to a new audience that is invested in to the Olympic Games. We always want to push our game forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glenn is part of the England squad that is hoping to wrap up a T20 series win over Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

Heather Knight\u2019s side were pegged back in the three-match series on Sunday, meaning Wednesday\u2019s match at Derby is the decider.<\/p>\n

It is the perfect venue for Glenn, who was born in the city and has many special memories at the County Ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is really special, I grew up playing here and grew up coming to watch the cricket and asking for autographs afterwards,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it is quite a special ground and I will definitely be engaging with the crowd after the game as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack then I didn\u2019t know as much about women\u2019s cricket, it wasn\u2019t in the public\u2019s eye as much and seeing that young girls can have female cricketers as role models is really exciting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely wasn\u2019t expecting to now be giving autographs, but it naturally just happened because I enjoyed the game. It will be nice to chat to fans after the game and hopefully inspire them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lauren Bell will not be involved for England after she pulled out of the match, and forthcoming one-day series, due to illness.<\/p>\n
