T20 CRICKET is set to be included in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028.<\/p>\n
The International Olympic Committee's executive approved the sport on Friday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
IOC president Thomas Bach confirmed that the LA organisers' proposal to feature T20 cricket in the Games had been accepted.<\/p>\n
It came following a meeting of the executive board in Mumbai.<\/p>\n
Cricket has not been included in the Olympic Games since 1900 when Great Britain and France were the only two countries that competed – with GB winning gold.<\/p>\n
T20 cricket is set to be one of five new sports at the Olympics.<\/p>\n
The others are baseball\/softball, flag football, squash and lacrosse.<\/p>\n However, boxing looks set to be omitted from the 2028 event.<\/p>\n Last year, the IOC barred the International Boxing Association from running the tournament and established a new qualification system for athletes.<\/p>\n And Bach has now confirmed that the decision to withdraw recognition of the IBA has put boxing's inclusion in the LA Games "on hold". <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Boxing has been included in each of the last 25 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n Its inclusion stretches back to 1912 – when the Stockholm Games excluded it as Swedish law banned the sport at the time.<\/p>\n The potential omission from the 2028 Olympics could have a damaging impact on the future of amateur boxing, with Muhammad Ali and Anthony Joshua just two future stars whose careers were launched at the Games.<\/p>\n<\/picture>SPEWCUMBER <\/span><\/p>\n
