Cricket has won its battle to be added to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic programme, multiple sources have told the Guardian, and will be joined by flag football as well as baseball and softball.

The LA organising committee is expected to go public with its choice of sports for the Games within the next 24 hours, with suggestions that lacrosse and potentially squash could also be proposed as additional sports for 2028.
