t20/20 cricket at the 2020 Olympics?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Precisely

I could yet become an Olympic Athlete...

 

[drainpipe32]

Woo, it's up to the ICC now!

Yes, it means more T20 but at least now we're not really giving it away to the rest of the world

Has to be a good thing I suppose but there is also the danger that cricket becomes a sport that fits into the category of synchronized swimming, wild water canoing etcetera and instead of increasing awareness of the game it marginalizes itself into a niche sport of bash and smash.

No way. I like cricket, don't get me wrong, but putting it into the Olympics is stupid.

Olympians are a test of athletes, not teams.

 

[Varun]

I think 10 over cricket is best for olympics.

 

[Aussie Team]

Maybe T20 And 50 Over Is Best!!!!:sarcasm

It was no spectacle at the 98 Comm Games, but maybe 20/20 will be good at the Olympics.

 

[Prithvi]

Well, its a revolution in the game cricket

I hope there aren't a bunch of retired cricketers representing their nations. We have to give cricket the best possible image.

I don`t think that can happen. Are`nt the Olympics only meant for amateur sportsmen or something? I think if it is to be played in the Olympics, it`ll be similar to what we have with football, with U-23 footballers representing their nations.

This, although that wouldn't be a bad thing IMO.
