The popularity of cricket today is so high that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) even included this sport in the shortlist of the 2028 Olympics, which will be held in Los Angeles. The popularity of cricket in the world was estimated by the number of spectators - two and a half billion people. The number of fans of this sport is growing rapidly, and cricket championships attract the attention of amateurs and professionals from all over the world.

Cricket originated in the 16th century in the south of England, but at the moment it has gained particular popularity in Asian countries. This is where the strongest teams and the largest number of fans are located. Cricket was included in the program of the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris, but after that it was forgotten for several years. Most likely, in the future Olympics, cricket will again become a full-fledged discipline.
