Breakfast-time cricket at the Olympics, for the players
The players, however, will find the timing unusual as the organisers' desire to cater to the huge Indian market means half the fixtures will begin at 9am local time.
The others will start at 1830 Pacific Daylight Time time, under floodlights, meaning matches staged at 2130 and 0700 India Standard Time.
That's 0200 and 1130 AEST, which with both the men's and women's finals scheduled for Thursdays (Fridays in Australia) could lead to a few sickies'.
It is hoped the dry air in southern California means neither morning nor evening dew will be a decisive factor, as the latter was in UAE in the 2021 T20 World Cup, when whoever won the toss won the match.
Fixtures will be played at Pomona, 35 miles east of the main Olympic venues, at a new site which will become the home of Major League Cricket (and IPL) franchise Knight Riders.
Kit McConnell, the International Olympic Commission's sports director, told BBC Sport organisers considered "core cricket markets in the subcontinent" when planning the tournament.
Cricket's return to the Games after a 128-year absence has been driven by the IOC's desire to tap into Indian audiences and cricket's push for expansion.
Six teams will participate in each of the men's and women's events with the qualification process still to be decided. The International Cricket Council is due to discuss the issue at their AGM in Singapore, starting 17 July.
The BBC reported the teams will be split into two groups with each team playing each other once.
Teams will then play the two sides from the other group who were not ranked in the corresponding position.
For example, the winners of Group A will play the second and third-placed teams in Group B.
Results will be combined with the top two playing a final to decide the gold and silver medals and third and fourth competing for bronze.
The event will start on July 12, two days before the opening ceremony, with the finals on 20 and 29 July (21 and 30 July in Australia). The women's and men's tournaments are set to run in separate slots rather than being played concurrently.
Great Britain won gold the only time cricket was at the Olympics, at Paris 1900, beating France in the sole match. UK cricket authorities are negotiating over creating a combined team for LA 2028 to defend their title.

Ben Stokes' handshake antics show why everyone hates England
England's sullen and ungracious conduct at the end of an Old Trafford Test match they dominated served up easy half volleys for their critics, quick to leap on perceived double standards. But it also gave England a glimpse of what awaits in Australia. The headlines overnight said it all: Spare us the whinging, England, Moral hypocrites, England decide tons are anti-cricket and Spirit of what? How pompous England exposed Bazball's great double standard. A familiar storm is gathering, and England gave it plenty of energy. A barrage of this stuff awaits in November, more so than any Ashes tour since 2013-14 when Alastair Cook's team were the first to follow the 2010-11 winners. Then Kevin Pietersen and Stuart Broad were public enemies No.1 and No.2. This time it will be Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. The Australians respect Stokes but fear what he can do. McCullum they see as someone who always failed on their turf when it mattered. There is nothing England can do to prevent the inevitable attacks, but they can at least make them harder to justify. What England did on Sunday night was lame, but the theory that Indian teams play for personal milestones is one shared by Australia. In fact, England's reaction was very Australian. Matthew Hayden once picked up on the 'milestone culture' in Indian cricket. 'We don't really play for stats. We play for wins. That's the Aussie way,' said Steve Waugh, but it could just as easily have been Stokes. England's mistake was making it look petty rather than pointed. Managing individuals is part of a captain's job. Shubman Gill recognised the importance of a maiden Test hundred for Washington Sundar and the great spade work Ravi Jadeja put in for his team throughout the series. He also revelled in sticking up two fingers at England after how they finished the Lord's Test.

Verstappen set to stay in driver's seat with Red Bull
Red Bull Racing will have Formula One superstar Max Verstappen for at least another season. Team adviser Helmut Marko said on Monday (Tuesday AEST) that the four-time defending F1 champion would return to the team in 2026, despite reported interest from Mercedes. A widely reported exit clause in Verstappen's Red Bull contract would have allowed him to leave the team at year's end if he were fourth or lower in the championship standings as of the Hungarian Grand Prix, which takes place this Sunday. After Australian Oscar Piastri's victory at the the Belgian Grand Prix last Sunday, Verstappen sits in third place in the standings and far enough ahead of fourth-placed George Russell (28 points) that he cannot be caught in Hungary. The understanding of Verstappen's situation was confirmed when Marko spoke to German outlet "Yes, I can confirm that Max Verstappen will drive for Red Bull in 2026," Marko said. Mercedes' cars are currently occupied by Russell and potential rising star Kimi Antonelli, but team boss Toto Wolff has not denied looking into pursuing Verstappen, the most successful F1 driver since his first championship in 2021. This month, Red Bull abruptly dismissed team principal Christian Horner and replaced him with Laurent Mekies. Verstappen's agent told a Dutch outlet at the time that Verstappen remained committed to the team despite the change.
