Cricket included in Olympics 2028, Rohit-Virat will not be in Team India but these youngsters will be a part!

New Delhi. Cricket, which is considered a game of the elite class and leisure people, is getting global recognition. Cricket fans got great news when it was again included in the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee has approved the inclusion of cricket in the 2028 LA Olympics to be held in Los Angeles, USA in the year 2028. Men’s and women’s cricket will be included in the Olympics. Let us tell you, the game of cricket was a part of the Paris Olympics in the year 1900 but later it was removed from the Olympics. After the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, cricket’s entry in the Olympics is a happy news for its fans.

Cricket returned after 9 years in the Hangzhou Asian Games. Earlier, cricket was included in the Guangzhou 2010 and Incheon 2014 Asian Games, but it was excluded from the Asian Games held in Jakarta in 2018. Earlier, cricket was included for the first time in the Commonwealth Games held in Kuala Lumpur in 1998, when only male cricketers took part in these games. After 1998, the Commonwealth Games had also ‘forgotten’ cricket, but in 2022, women’s cricket was again given a place in the Commonwealth Games to be held in Birmingham city of England.

Talking about Hangzhou Asian Games, in view of the World Cup 2023, India’s ‘B’ team under the leadership of Rituraj Gaikwad took part in it and also became the champion. There is every possibility that only major Indian teams (women’s teams) will participate in the 2028 Olympics. Since the time for the event is five years, many star players of the current team will be missing from it. Talking about the men’s team, there is every possibility that players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, R. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami will be included. Players will not be part of this team.

Rohit Sharma and Ashwin are 36 years old and they would have said goodbye to cricket by the Los Angeles Olympics. Similarly, Shami, Kohli and Jadeja have also reached around 34 years of age, hence they too would probably have called cricket bye-bye by 2028. Talking about women’s cricket, Harmanpreet Kaur, only 34 years old, will probably not be a part of the Indian team for the Olympics. She would have been 38 years old by this tournament.

Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohd. of the current Indian men’s cricket team. There is every possibility of a player like Siraj being a part of this team. Bumrah and Siraj are currently 29 years old while Shubman, Kuldeep, Ishaan and Shreyas are even younger. New players include Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Avesh Khan. And players like famous Krishna can be a part of this team. It is possible that Hardik Pandya, who has turned 30 years old, can also be seen being a part of this team or leading it.
