According to the Guardian, the Olympic organisers will confirm this week that the quarter of sports will be included in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, both squash and lacrosse could also be set for inclusion at the 2028 games. Cricket has been played at the Olympics before, with England and France battling it out for a gold medal in Paris back in 1900.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: <\/b><b>World-renowned prankster Jarvo raids Cricket World Cup and gets message from Virat Kohli<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: <\/b><b>England cricket fan expelled from MCC for abusing Australian team during Ashes<\/b><\/p>\n<p>And now it looks set to be reintroduced over 100 years later, with the IOC keen to tap into the Asian market. The Guardian also report that cricket&apos;s re-inclusion as an Olympic sport will be in the form of a men&apos;s and women&apos;s T20 tournament.<\/p>\n<p>By adding cricket to the roster of sports at Los Angeles 2028, the hope is that it will allow for the IOC to sell the Olympic broadcast rights in India at a much more lucrative price. The current broadcasting rights in India for the 2024 Paris Olympics is said to be worth just \u00a315.6million.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>What do you make of Cricket&apos;s inclusion in the 2028 Olympics?
