rangeelaraja Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 So many shyte seemingly un Olympic "sports" are a part of Olympics yet Kabaddi - played by 30-40 countries and cricket played by over 100 countries is not included in the games. If Ganguly as ICC president has any substance in him ( and part of the job of the ICC President is to popularize the game and raise its profile ) - we should be pushing T20 cricket to be part of Olympics. Kabaddi too is a far more physical sport than lot of cr@p that passes off in the Olympic events. Under_Score, AuxiliA, Franco Vazquez and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment

Texy Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 if skateboarding can be an Olympic sport & golf is considered a 'sport' then Y not kabaddi? Link to comment
rising Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I think there might be problems with WADA with regards to Indian cricket where players did not want share details about whereabouts. i think this happened something 10 to 12 years ago which might problem for cricket Link to comment
Vilander Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Equestrian dressage 3 on 3 basketball Canoe Salalom skateboarding etc are important popular sports unlike cricket or Kabbadi shhhhhh. Lord 1 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Cricket should not be in Olympics. Will take the limelight away from other sports in India. We wouldn't want that. Other sportsmen have one international level event and that too you want to get hijacked by Cricket. Franco Vazquez and Banton 1 1 Link to comment

Lone Wolf Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I think cricket should be included if the host venue has necessary infrastructure for it. Kabaddi has more stronger case than it though. Still no idea why isn't that in Olympics. Iran probably will take Gold there though. Link to comment

Dont know where you get your news from - India is by far the most dominant kabbadi playing nation. The closest non subcontinental team is South Korea. Iran can give good competition but India will beat Iran 19 out of 20 times https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabaddi_World_Cup_(Standard_style) Under_Score 1 Link to comment

Iran in recent years got closer & closer & ultimately bridged the Gap in Asian Games & defeated us in the Semis. Majority of their success is now thanks to the Kabaddi league. They have learned the art of raiding from Indian raiders. Link to comment

sage Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Bcci has always opposed cricket in the Olympics Link to comment
dilliboy Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I am guessing time constraints for Cricket.. Even a t20 match takes 3.5 hrs minimum.. To have that many matches in a contracted schedule is quite difficult. Kabbadi probably because it isn't 'western' enough Link to comment
sage Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bcci-s-opposition-olympics-cricket-disappointing-755009 BCCI's opposition to Olympics cricket 'disappointing' The Secretary General of the Olympic Council of Asia has said cricket is giving up on the chance for "global expansion" by staying out of the Olympics The opposition to a push for cricket to return to the Olympic fold for the first time since 1900 is being led by the BCCI and the ECB. Singh says he has been "very disappointed" with the BCCI's attitude on the issue for the last few years. India refused to send either their men's or women's teams to the last Asian Games in Guangzhou in 2010 and Singh hopes they will change their stance for the upcoming Asian Games in the Korean city of Incheon in September.
