We're all likely aware that this year is an Olympic year, but the 2028 Games will mark a historic moment for one of the UK's favourite sports, cricket. After more than a century's absence, cricket will return to the Olympics in Los Angeles, featuring competitions for both men and women. This significant moment, happening for the first time since 1900, not only marks a major milestone for the sport but also opens up a world of opportunities for those aspiring to work in sports marketing and champion gender equality in sport.
