The IOC should have recognized it much earlier. It's one of the most popular sport in the world.

I think there should be 5 over games max if cricket is included at olympics otherwise they are too long.

5 overs? I would rather say no to Olympics.

5 overs? I would rather say no to Olympics.

OR 10 overs each = 20 over +plus toss = 1.5 hr approx....Olympic games shouldn't be much longer than that imo

Weren't people worried that the Indian cricketers stance on WADA testing would prevent this? Anyhow, Olympics are the most over rated sporting event in the world with half the "sports" consisting of people beating each other up and horses jumping over hurdles. Don't see how cricket can benefit from being part of the drama. If anything it will see the sprouting of F5 with Afretard the undisputed king of the format.

the only way it will work in the olympics is a knockout tournament.Group stage is unworkable,even for t20.
