Los Angeles Olympic Games: Women's cricket in the form of a T20 competition at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022 played a key role in convincing the top officials of the Organising Committee of the Los Angeles Olympic Games to propose cricket as one of the additions sports.

Besides the Inclusion of Women's T20 competition as a medal sport at last year's Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the success of professional leagues like the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Major League Cricket also helped in convincing the La 2028 administrators that cricket will be a game changer and thus proposed it as one of the additional sports.
