Why not make the T20 WC more meaningful and hold it every 4 years in the olympics? 1 gold medal for India as well. And no better place than London for it.
Maybe in the future . http://m.timesofindia.com/sports/cricket/top-stories/ICC-considers-T20-for-Olympics/articleshow/11486605.cms http://espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/447930.html For some reason both BCCI and ICC arent too keen to get Cricket included in any of the Multi-sport events . Cricket was part of last Asian games in China 2010 where surprisingly BCCI didnt even bother to send a team . In the end , Bangladesh won Gold and Afghanistan Won Silver . Also the Pakistan Women Won Gold . Inspite of huge pressure for Cricket to be dropped in the future , it somehow still managed to get included in next Asian Games in South Korea , with reassurance from BCCI that they will field a strong team . Now the Asian games might not appear as a huge event but thanks to it that the first Cricket Stadium is being constructed in South Korea , so in a way this inclusion is helping towards growth of Cricket Infrastructure . I think Cricket should first strengthen its status as an Asian Games and Commonwealth games sport before making a serious case for Olympics .
