India's 2036 Olympic bid receives ECB support: Chief Executive Richard Gould cites 2030 CWG in Ahmedabad as ideal prep
ECB Chief Executive Richard Gould pledges full support for India's 2036 Olympic Games bid, citing the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad as ideal prep.
England and Wales Cricket Board Chief Executive Richard Gould has expressed full support for India's potential bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games. Gould emphasized cricket's expanding global footprint and the ICC Chairman Jay Shah's role in making the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics a success. He highlighted the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad as an ideal test for India to build necessary infrastructure and experience before potentially bidding for the Olympics.
Gould also discussed the growing popularity of mixed disability cricket, which began approximately three to four years ago and has since gained traction through matches involving India, England, and Australia. The ICC Chairman is believed to play a crucial role in the format's expansion, with the possibility of featuring in the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, and future Paralympics.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is expected to finalize the host nation for the 2036 Games by 2029, following a rigorous vetting process.
