This year Jai Shah met Thomas Bak, President of the International Olympic Committee. Let us tell you that cricket is going to return to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, in which only 6 teams are going to participate.

Recently, ICC, headed by Jai Shah, has also changed some rules of cricket. In ODI cricket, 2 balls were used in the first 50 overs game. Now according to the new rule, 2 balls will be used for 1-34 overs, while for 35-50 overs, the fielding team will have to continue the bowling by selecting one of them. At the same time, the number of overs in a match is reduced by 25 or less, then only one ball will be used in an innings.
