Payne  cited “the current cricket boom” in the United States, where some of the biggest technology companies have invested in the Premier League.  Payne said the upside for cricket is that the 2032 Olympics will be held in Australia, where cricket is a major sport. 

“The 2032 Games will be held in Brisbane, Australia… there is local interest in cricket… And also from a business perspective, cricket is booming in America. The Los Angeles (organizing) committee is headed by a gentleman named Casey. Wasserman, who is a very successful business executive and owns one of the  largest sports media companies in the world. He saw the potential in cricket,” he said. And then Payne added that the IOC had a greater interest in  tapping into the subcontinent’s huge market of cricket-loving fans in India and South Asia.
