I'm not 100% sure cricket will have its best players. There's a lot of hurdles in India and to a lesser extent the Caribbean nations.

Yes they will, July is rainy season in India so we travel to countries like West Indies (non profitable tour), Ireland or England (alternate year). So there's nothing much that happens in this month

This should come as a serious boost to country like Thailand which has one of the best women's team outside of commonwealth. More funding could mean better performance

I don't see any reporting supporting that from the major Olympic outlets...

Initially yes, but all the rumors expect to reinstate Boxing alongside with Weightlifting and even Modern Pentathlon has a great chance to remain in the program too, we will know for sure during the IOC session

It’s not even a rumor, Christophe De Kepper straight up said on the record that Boxing would be included in the LA 2028 program.

Great. Another plenty of sports in which Slovakia will again not qualify

 

 

That's my same thought about Greece 

 

I think "we won't qualify in any of these so I do not care" 

 

 

 

I will say it's sad that we didn't really have the option to choose to add "sports" in 2004 as the host nation, we could have swept the podium in backgammon for example

Nah, you just need to find enough Greek Americans who play lacrosse

Probably plenty of Greek-Americans who play flag
