The very popular sport nowadays is Cricket. Ironically it is not included in the leading international sports events, Olympics. The founder of modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin, wanted cricket in the first modern Olympiad in year 1896. Cricket did make a short-lived appearance at the 1900 games in Paris. It was the first and last experience of Cricket in Olympics.
Cricket has changed a lot and the world is also a different place than before. Some argue that modern cricket would benefit from a refurbishment to the Olympic ranks, but that remains unlikely under the dominant perspective in England, India and International Cricket Council.
Here, we have listed the reasons why Cricket is not &
should not be in Olympics:
- Slow Walking Game
- The Bottom Line
- Lack of Global Interest
- Cost and Logistics
- Does not fit into the Olympic Motto
