It's always valuable to spend time with other sporting leaders as the @ICC expands our sport's global reach."

Earlier this year, he also met with former IOC president Thomas Bach in Lausanne in the run-up to the IOC Session. Cricket is set to return to the Olympic Games at Los Angeles 2028, marking a historic re-entry into the world’s biggest sporting event.

Meanwhile, the Champions League final promises fireworks as PSG, under Luis Enrique, eye their first-ever UCL title and a historic treble, having already secured the Ligue 1 and French Cup trophies. Enrique, who previously won the treble with Barcelona in 2014–15, could become only the second manager after Pep Guardiola to achieve the feat with two different clubs.
Inter Milan, aiming to salvage a trophyless season, reached the final after a dramatic 7-6 aggregate win over Barcelona. They are eyeing their fourth Champions League crown, having last appeared in the final in the 2022–23 season where they lost to Manchester City.
