“We believe cricket would be a great addition to the Olympic Games, but we know it won’t be easy to secure our inclusion as there are so many other great sports out there wanting to do the same. But we feel now is the time to put our best foot forward and show what a great partnership cricket and the Olympics could be,” he added.
Here is how Twitter is reacting to ICC's ambition for Olympics:
I think this will do massive wonders especially to Women's cricket Team.

A welcome effort by the @ICC for the inclusion of #Cricket at #losAngeles2028. It would be a real step by the @iocmedia to truly modernising the #Olympics & would grow much needed viewership.
