\u201cIn the world of cricket, there is great happiness that cricket has been included in Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. There can't be a bigger thing than this. Our reason for going to Paris was the same because we have been working for Paralympic sports for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo our aim was to go there and talk to the IPC President that the way cricket has been included in LA Olympics, then para-cricket should be included in Paralympics as well. So we have put our request in front of the IPC President, and he has also shown confidence that we will work on this soon because through cricket, other sports can move forward,\u201d said Chauhan to IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The DCCI is the umbrella body of four different types of differently-abled cricket played in India: blind, deaf, physically challenged & wheelchair. Chauhan\u2019s comments come in the light of T20 cricket being one of five new sports set to feature at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, making the game\u2019s return to the mega event after 128 years, when it was last played during 1900 Paris Games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
