England achieved the unwanted record of losing to all 11 Test-playing nations at the Cricket World Cup after they were stunned by Afghanistan on Sunday. England are the first team ever to achieve this feat as they were completely outplayed by Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023 encounter in New Delhi. In the first two editions of the tournament, England lost to Australia in 1975 and then to West Indies in the 1979 final. In 1983 and 1987, they suffered losses at the hands of India and Pakistan respectively. In 1983, they were also defeated by New Zealand in a shock result.

The US and West Indies jointly hosting the next T20 World Cup along with the success of the first edition of Major League Cricket (MLC) played a pivotal role in cricket's inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, said Niccolo Campriani, LA28 Sports Director on Monday. Cricket (men's and women's T20Is) returned to the Olympic Games after a long gap of 123 years since its maiden appearance in 1900, with lacrosse (sixes), baseball/softball, flag football and squash being approved as the additional sports for the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. The voting in favour of these games took place on Monday during the second day's proceedings of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) 141st Session.
The much-hyped India vs Pakistan clash at the Cricket World Cup 2023 was pretty much an one-sided affair with the Rohit Sharma-led hosts coming out victorious in Ahmedabad on Saturday. India were the dominant side both with the bowling and batting as Babar Azam's Pakistan showed no gumption to fight. Batting first, Pakistan were all out for 191 with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav picking two wickets each. India, boosted by brilliant innings from Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer, reached the target easily.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah has expressed his happiness at the inclusion of cricket in the Los Angeles Olympics 2028, saying that the Board has been a staunch supporter of International Cricket Council's efforts to get the sport to Olympics and the move will open new frontiers for the game. Cricket will be a part of the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028 and will make its return after 128 years to the multi-sport extravaganza, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on Monday. "The BCCI has been a staunch supporter of the ICC's efforts to include cricket as an Olympic sport. We are thrilled to witness this momentous occasion, which marks a significant milestone for the sport. Our active participation has been instrumental in promoting the case for cricket's inclusion in the Olympics. This initiative aligns with the idea of India hosting the 2036 Olympics, as envisioned by our Prime Minister (Narendra Modi)," Jay Shah said in a statement.
Cricket is part of Olympic, finally. The widely followed sport is back at the quadrennial extravaganza after a gap of 128 years. Cricket was part of the 1900 Olympics. At the 2028 Los Angles Olympics, cricket (men's and women's T20Is) will return to the sporting spectacle. Along with lacrosse (sixes), baseball/softball, flag football and squash, cricket is part of the additional sports for the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
