sports desk: Cricket will be held on the East Coast of America for the Olympics to be held in Los Angeles. This Olympics will be held in Los Angeles in 2028. The number of Indian spectators is high on the East Coast of America, hence it has been decided to have cricket here. This will make it easier to make money from the big sports markets in America. Host Committee Chairman Casey Wasserman gave this information.

Cricket, which will be in T20 format, is joining the Olympic Games after 128 years. Where it will be held has not been officially confirmed yet, but it is likely that both the men's and women's competitions will be held on the East Coast. A big reason for this is that the time on the east coast is more favorable for the Indian audience.

New York on the East Coast hosted several matches in the preliminary round of the T20 World Cup this year. The travel time between India and the east coast is approximately 9.5 hours, allowing Indian viewers to watch the matches live. In contrast, Los Angeles is on the West Coast, where time is about 12.5 hours behind, which can make it difficult for viewers. In such a situation, the people of the committee are thinking of getting it done on the east coast.

Therefore, if the cricket competition takes place on the East Coast, it will be more convenient for the Indian audience and may also increase the popularity of the game.

History of cricket in Olympics

Cricket's history in the Olympics dates back to 1900, when it was first included in the Olympic Games held in Paris. At that time only one men's match took place, in which the teams of Great Britain and France took part. Great Britain won the match by 158 runs. Now, cricket is being included again in the Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles in 2028, and this time it will be played in the T20 format.
