There are some games that start before the Opening Ceremonies. If they can do a Soccer/Football tournament, they can do a Cricket tournament.

I could see ODI becoming an Olympic Sport as far as Cricket goes. Test would be a stretch.

PLEASE FUCKING TELL ME CRICKET WILL BE AN OLYMPIC SPORT THAT YEAR?
USA gets baseball... I'll be in LA for those games (only a 5 hour drive)
But I want to go to NZ for some of my favorite Sauvignon Blancs and watch a cricket test match. (Full disclosure I'm also a NZ Black Caps fan) Might go in 2032 from NZ to Brisbane to make it extra special.
(We can't get American Football, so you don't get Aussie Rules, and I think Rugby is already an Olympic Sport)

Huge sports fan.
But Beijing, London, Rio, Tokyo? In the past
Paris in 2024 then LA in 2028?

I always get Seoul and Barcelona mixed up. I was about to correct you and say "that was actually '88."
I got LA in '84, Atlanta in '96, Sidney in 2000, and Greece in 2004 though. But Barcelona and Seoul always mess up my memories.

I mean, if they started now... We could get a Test Cricket in before 2032...
