I am hopeful because I will be 35 by then: Cummins
Cricket is going to return to the Olympics once again after about 128 years. It is worth noting that recently the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has included cricket in the Olympics to be held in Los Angeles in the year 2028.
On the other hand, now a big statement has come from Australia cricket team captain and veteran fast bowler Pat Cummins about playing cricket in the Los Angeles Olympics. Cummins says that by that time he will be 35 years old and he is confident that he will be able to participate in the Olympics.
Pat Cummins gave a big statement
Let us tell you that while talking on Fox Sports recently, Pat Cummins said – Watching the Olympics has excited all of us. You want to be a part of it right in the middle. I would love to be on that side (on LA28). I think I will be 35 or so at that time, so hopefully I will still be there or around that.
Cummins further said- Honestly, right now, it feels very far away. Maybe once we get closer and start building into it, everyone will be ready to get a little more excited.
On the other hand, for your information, let us tell you that cricket has been included in the Olympics only after two years of continuous discussion with the International Cricket Council (ICC) committee organising the Olympics in Los Angeles. This time it will be played in men’s and women’s categories.
All the matches will be played in T20 format in the upcoming Olympics. After this, cricket is likely to become more popular on the world stage. It will be interesting to see which teams will win gold, silver and bronze medals in the upcoming Olympics.
