Cricket Is What Makes The Sun Rise And The Sun Set, Daily!

It was admirable the way an American told the international media what cricket is all about and the reason for the noble game to be included as a medal event at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. At the Main Press Centre at Palais De Congress in Paris on August 10, Casey Wasserman, Chairman and CEO of LA28 summed up the team game saying: “Cricket is what makes the sun rise and sun set daily.”  India’s Squash players can hope to play at the LA28, but what enthused the spectacled American Wasserman — he  must have got an idea of cricket seeing the recent ICC Men’s World T20 in New York and Florida — about cricket was the fact of more than one billion people following the game.  One of the great cities in the USA, Los Angeles will offer three medals — gold, silver and bronze — to the winner of the Twenty20 competition, an event India would fancy winning the gold!  On the penultimate day of the 33rd Summer Olympics in Paris, the organising committee of LA28 got an opportunity to make a presentation at the MPC where it said that over hundred people involved to plan and execute the games four years later are in Paris to watch how the French delivered its third modern Olympics and that the 34th games will be “Authentically Los Angeles”. With a humongous interest already existent in Los Angeles for cricket — with a large South Asian diaspora in the State of California — tickets will be sold out for matches featuring India and this fact is the reason that made Wasserman give a novel description to a sport that has not caught on with the American natives yet, but has the potential to become a hit, financially!
