Los Angeles Olympic Games: Cricket's commercial massive strength in India and other member countries was not a consideration for the sport's return to the Olympic Games after 120-plus years at the Los Angeles Olympics, scheduled in July 2028, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said on Monday.

Cricket was last played in the 1900 edition in Paris as a one-off match between Great Britain and France (a team comprising British nationals and two born in France). Its return to the Olympics was approved by the 141st IOC Session in Mumbai on Monday.
