ICC Chief Executive Sanjog Gupta, who was present at the ground-breaking ceremony, said cricket\u2019s world governing body remains focused on expanding the sport globally, with its return to the Olympics marking a significant step towards that goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a ‘ground-breaking’ moment in cricket’s return to the Olympic Games, both for the sport and for the Olympic movement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe journey over the next two years will see many such milestones which enhance the sense of occasion, culture and community, as cricket’s home for LA28 is built in Pomona.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the inclusion in the Olympic Games and other regional multi-sport events, cricket has already stepped into a new era of global growth powered by improved accessibility, elevated visibility and stronger institutional support.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe momentum for our game has never been stronger, demonstrated by the recent ICC events which saw record-breaking stadia attendance as well as broadcast and digital engagement, coupled with deep cultural and socio-economic impact.<\/p>\n
\u201cStrong participation growth across the world and recent \u2018fan-first\u2019 efforts by the ICC to grow key markets will further bolster cricket’s march into the Olympics.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ICC Chief Executive Sanjog Gupta, who was present at the ground-breaking ceremony, said cricket\u2019s world governing body remains…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624512,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,95832,95830,95836,95846,95842,95845,95843,1950,95844,95841,95847,95853,95852,95833,7301,95851,95835,95834,90626,95839,95840,95849,85,95848,95850,95838,95831,95837],"class_list":{"0":"post-624593","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-cricket-breaking-news","12":"tag-cricket-headlines-today","13":"tag-cricket-live-score","14":"tag-cricket-match-highlights-today","15":"tag-cricket-match-live-streaming-score","16":"tag-cricket-match-result-today","17":"tag-cricket-match-today-live","18":"tag-cricket-news","19":"tag-cricket-results-today","20":"tag-cricket-scorecard-live","21":"tag-cricket-series-updates","22":"tag-cricket-world-cup-live-score","23":"tag-cricket-world-cup-news","24":"tag-cricket-world-news","25":"tag-icc","26":"tag-icc-cricket-updates","27":"tag-international-cricket-live-score","28":"tag-international-cricket-news","29":"tag-latest-cricket-news","30":"tag-latest-cricket-scores","31":"tag-live-cricket-match-update","32":"tag-odi-cricket-live-score","33":"tag-sports","34":"tag-t20-cricket-live-score","35":"tag-test-cricket-live-score","36":"tag-today-cricket-live-score","37":"tag-today-cricket-news-update","38":"tag-todays-cricket-match-score"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
