Cricket in the Olympics - But when?

Submitted by Rick Eyre on July 17, 2012 - 9:26pm

It has been 112 years - two years longer than an Allen Stanford prison sentence - since two club sides from Great Britain and France played what, to date, has been the one and only game of cricket at the Olympic Games. We may not have to wait so long again for the sport to return to the modern Games, but there will be many hurdles to overcome first.

My latest dissertation on the prospect of cricket as an Olympic (and/or Commonwealth) Games sport is the subject of my new column for iSportconnect. The full column can be read at www.isportconnect.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13074&catid=74&Itemid=193.
