"LA 2028 here I come!"- Netherlands cricketer Logan van Beek expresses desire to compete in break dance at Olympics

Netherlands fast bowler Logan van Beek hilariously expressed his desire to compete in break dance event at the next edition of Olympics. Break dance made its Olympic debut yesterday in Paris, with clips from the sport grabbing enormous attention on social media.

16-year-old player Taisiia Onofriichuk's performance on Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' song also went viral on X. Van Beek noticed the clip and reacted with the following quote tweet:

"This is awesome… LA 2028 here I come!"

Fans had some hilarious responses to Van Beek's tweet. Since he represents the Netherlands at international level but was born in New Zealand, a fan asked him which country would he represent at the Olympics. Replying to him, van Beek wrote:

"Great question…"

Another X user joked that he would fully support Van Beek if he participated in the break dance event at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. Another fan also reminded the fast bowler that even cricket would be a part of the next Olympics.

Logan van Beek recently turned up for Surrey Jaguars in Global T20 Canada 2024

Earlier this month, Logan van Beek represented the Surrey Jaguars in the Global T20 Canada League. The Jaguars finished fifth in the points table with only one victory from seven matches. As a result, they could not qualify for the playoffs.

Shedding some light on Van Beek's numbers in the tournament, the fast bowler scalped five wickets in four innings at a decent strike rate of 15.6. During the Global T20 Canada tournament, Van Beek received an opportunity to share the dressing room with the likes of Sunil Narine, Marcus Stoinis, Mohammad Nabi and Kyle Mayers.

The 33-year-old would have gained some valuable experience while playing with some big names of world cricket. He even played for the Netherlands in T20 World Cup 2024 two months ago.
