Jay Shah, chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) has hinted at the possibility of cricket featuring in consecutive Olympics for the first time.

“Very exciting time ahead for Cricket’s involvement in the Olympics movement – a meeting with the @Brisbane_2032 organizing committee in Brisbane, Australia today,” Shah posted on the social media platform X, also called Twitter.

Cricket will make a return to the Olympics after 128 years when it is played in the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The sport was played in the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris.

Cricket has not yet been confirmed for the 2032 edition in Brisbane. However, Shah’s meeting with the top officials of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics organising committee gives hope for the sport.

Former BCCI secretary, Shah took charge as ICC chairman earlier this month. The meeting was attended by Brisbane 2032 organising committee chief Cindy Hook and Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley.
