REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson/File PhotoLOS ANGELES: Organisers of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics want cricket, flag football, lacrosse, squash and baseball-softball added to the event, they said on Monday .
"In building the Olympic sport programme, we were willing to challenge the status quo and think differently about what's possible for the Games in Los Angeles," LA28 CEO Kathy Carter said in a statement. "We are one huge step closer to a monumental milestone for our sport and international community," said World Lacrosse, the sport's governing body, in a statement.Cricket, which enjoys enormous global appeal, would return after appearing once at the 1900 Games, following the tremendous success for women's cricket at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
