MUMBAI: Michelle Yeoh, the first Asian actress to win an Oscar, joined the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Tuesday (Oct 17) after being voted in as a member at a ceremony in Mumbai.
The United States' ambassador to India believes his compatriots will come to share his joy in the "unabashed fun" of Twenty20 cricket when the format features at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. International cricket's shortest form was approved as one of five new sports for LA 2028 during the International Olympic Committee's session in Mumbai on Monday. Flag football, baseball/softball, lacrosse and squash were the others. Eric Garcetti, a former mayor of Los Angeles, told reporters in Mumbai late Monday that his passion for cricket had grown during his time living in the UK, but blossomed after he took his post in India six months ago.

There was not a chance in hell that India's finest squash player Saurav Ghosal would continue playing the game in his 40s but the sport's inclusion in the 2028 Olympics after decades of wait has forced the 37-year-old to rethink about his future plans. In a testament to his remarkable longevity, Ghosal has managed to stay at the top of his game for the major part of his professional career that began as a teenager way back in 2003. The world number 18 has got a bagful of medals over the six Asian Games that he has been part of and last year became the first Indian to win a singles medal in the highly-competitive Commonwealth Games. However, all those laurels came his way amid the disappointment of squash being ignored for Olympics, edition after edition, over the past 20 years. Monday's announcement provided a sense of relief and ecstacy for Ghosal and his generation which grew up dreaming about a medal at the Summer Games.

The International Olympic Committee have confirmed cricket will be one of five new sports at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
Squash stronghold Egypt celebrated on Monday the sport's inclusion into the programme for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, raising hopes of winning some gold medals but the head of the country's federation warned against excessive optimism.
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.
