It is noteworthy that this time these games will be played in Glasgow city of Scotland between 23 July to 2 August. Also, let us tell you that apart from cricket, 10 more sports have been excluded from the Commonwealth Games. Earlier in the year 2022, the game of cricket was included in the games held in Hangzhou, China, but this time cricket will not be seen in the upcoming Commonwealth Games. Apart from this, no specific reason has been given behind the exclusion of cricket from CWG 2026. However, Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) CEO Katie Sadleir recently came forward and described the 2026 CWG as an important step forward for the future of the Games. Katie Sadleir gave a big statement Let us tell you that Katie Sadleir was quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo – The 2026 Games will act as a bridge to the Commonwealth Games of tomorrow, resetting and redefining sports as a truly collaborative, flexible and sustainable model for the future. An exciting first step in our journey to a technology that reduces costs, reduces environmental footprint and increases social impact. Doing so will increase the scope of countries capable of hosting. Also, let us tell you that in the Commonwealth Games 2022, the Indian cricket team had won the gold medal in the women’s and men’s categories. However, the game of cricket will not be seen in the upcoming Commonwealth Games. But for your information, let us tell you that cricket has been included in the Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles in the year 2028.
Good news for Indian fans, big report came out regarding the host of cricket match in LA28 Olympics.
Cricket has also been included in the 2028 edition of this spectacular mega event. LA28 Olympics (Pic Source-X) Many people are eagerly waiting for the Los Angeles Olympics. Let us tell you that cricket has also been included in the 2028 edition of this spectacular mega event. The organizers of LA28 are looking for a suitable venue to host the cricket matches. New York is at the forefront of this list. Let us tell you, the time difference between Los Angeles and India is 12 hours and 30 minutes, which means that a prime time game will be broadcast at 8 pm in Los Angeles during breakfast in India. However, the time difference between New York and India is approximately 9 hours and 30 minutes which may prove to be a good time for the Indian audience. Apart from this, the games which start at 10:30 am in the East Coast will be played at around 8 pm Indian time and this is a very good time for Indian fans. A similar plan was made by the International Cricket Council during the T20 World Cup 2024, which was played in the USA. The organizers are yet to decide on the venue for the match. According to the report of Sportico, ‘Like other new sports, cricket is also facing difficulty in finalizing the venue. But the venue is very less. Actually, the organizers of LA28 want that Indian fans can enjoy cricket thoroughly and for this they will have to finalize a great venue. Cricket matches can be played in different venues in USA If cricket matches are played in New York, it will not be the first time that a game is being played outside the host city. The football matches of the recently concluded Paris Olympics were played in France and something similar can be seen for cricket in the LA28 Olympics.

Why Jitesh Sharma flopped in IPL 2024, now made a big revelation
Jitesh has played 9 T20 International matches for India, in which he has scored 100 runs at an average of 14.28 and an excellent strike rate of 147.05. Jitesh Sharma (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Indian young wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma impressed everyone with his performance in the IPL and due to this he got a chance in Team India. However, in the 2024 IPL, Jitesh could score only 187 runs in 12 innings. During this period his strike rate was also only 131.6. Now meanwhile, Jitesh has revealed that he was thinking a lot about the T20 World Cup 2024 during the tournament, due to which his performance in IPL 2024 was disappointing. He also revealed that he was in India’s plans, but did not get a chance due to the abundance of wicketkeeper-batsmen in the team. Speaking to India TV, Jitesh said, “When the IPL started, I was thinking a lot about the World Cup and perhaps that is why I could not focus much on the given match.” I too would have given priority to both of them – Jitesh Sharma “I have no shame in admitting it,” he confessed. It is what it is. I couldn’t think clearly because the World Cup selection was on my mind. The moment the team was selected, my batting got much better. I felt more open, I knew I wasn’t in the team, because I knew I had to focus and score runs. So I managed to play 2-3 good innings till the end of the tournament.” Jitesh Sharma further said, “If I were a selector, I would not have selected myself at that time because Rishabh Pant came back and proved himself and the form Sanju Bhai was in, I would not have selected myself. I too would have given priority to both of them.” Let us tell you that Jitesh has played 9 T-20 international matches for India, in which he has scored 100 runs at an average of 14.28 and an excellent strike rate of 147.05. He last played against Afghanistan in January 2024. In IPL 2023, Jitesh Sharma scored 309 runs at a strike rate of 156.06.
