Cricket in unarguably the most popular game in India and it is reasonable for any other sports professional complaining about their less popularity just due to cricket in India. But needless to mention, Cricket is not that popular internationally because superior countries like America, China, Japan and Europe are still away from this game.
According to the latest statement released by Italy board of Olympics, India can gain a better prominence as the former decided to add cricket in Olympics in 2024 if they win the bid for it.
There was this proposal since sometime to make T20 format cricket as a part of Olympics. But this time with Italy Olympic board statements, chances are high that Cricket can be added to Olympics in 2024. If that happens, India gets a fairer chance to shine country’s pride in Olympics too.
