NEW DELHI: International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman Jay Shah met the International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Kirsty Coventry during an IOC meeting in Switzerland and discussed the road to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and cricket's return to the Summer Games.

"It was a pleasure to meet with IOC President Kirsty Coventry to continue our ongoing discussions on the road to @LA28 and Cricket's return to the Olympic Games. We reflected on the progress made so far and the significant role cricket can play in the growth of the Olympic movement, " Shah wrote on X while also sharing the picture of the meeting.
