Cricket is returning to Olympics after 128 years. But many hope the sport will finally crack America
Cricket, the world's second most-watched sport, is set to make its Olympic return in 2028, 126 years after its last appearance.
This significant comeback is being heralded by the commencement of construction for a new 10,000-plus capacity cricket stadium in Pomona, eastern Los Angeles County.
This premier venue, designed to host both men's and women's matches, is located within the Fairplex fairgrounds.
It will serve as the home of the Los Angeles Knight Riders, a Major League Cricket team owned by Mumbai-based Knight Riders Sports, a company co-led by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
The groundbreaking ceremony included a 'bhumi pujan', a Hindu ritual traditionally performed to seek divine blessings and forgiveness before disturbing the earth for construction.
Cricket already holds significant cultural sway within US diaspora communities, particularly those from South Asia, where it is followed with fervent dedication.

Iranian students clash with militia as fresh protests erupt
Students staged protests at several Iranian universities on Saturday, marking the start of a new semester with clashes between demonstrators and pro-government factions, according to local news agencies and posts on social media.
The unrest coincided with mourning ceremonies, traditionally held after 40 days, for those killed during January’s anti-government demonstrations.
They saw thousands lose their lives in the most severe domestic upheaval since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
A video, reportedly from Tehran's Sharif University of Technology, showed marchers condemning Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a “murderous leader” and advocating for Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's deposed shah, to assume a new monarchical role.
State-affiliated news agencies such as SNN carried videos of clashes, with protesters allegedly injuring volunteer student Basij militia by throwing rocks at Iran's top engineering university.

Musk cutting Starlink to Russia’s drones has delivered ‘enormous’ boost to Ukraine, says frontline general
Russia’s drone campaign in Ukraine has been cut by up to 40 per cent, allowing Ukraine to regain territory after Elon Musk blocked Russia’s access to his Starlink satellite network, according to one of Ukraine’s most senior army chiefs.
Andrii Biletski, commander of Ukraine Third Corps, says the impact of SpaceX switching off Starlink in areas of Ukraine now held by Russia’s invading forces had been “enormous”.
“After the blocking of Starlink for the Russians, the level of their efficiency compared to ours has sharply decreased because Starlink is practically irreplaceable as a combat communication system,” the brigadier general tells The Independent.
“Starlink can only be replaced with another Starlink. Therefore, the impact of Starlink on the current course of the war is enormous.
“In the last two weeks, there has been a significant deterioration in the effectiveness of Russian strikes, by about 20 to 40 per cent.”
