If we want only 8 regular teams for the Olympic then why are we even trying for the Olympics, shouldn't we stick to our usual routine then? Long term goal is " Promote cricket World wide" for this we need participation from new countries as well, ICC and fans can't afford "Boring Match" attitude if they want to promote the cricket, like it or not but its part of the deal.

I would agree with you about this "boring match" argument. Some of the most boring matches that I have watched involved two test playing nations. On the other hand, some of the most exciting matches involved one associate nation playing against one of the test playing nations. The defeat of West Indies during the 1996 World Cup to Kenya is still fresh in my mind. I was a small kid back then, and I was amazed by the Kenyan performance.

That said, Olympics doesn't allow too many automatic qualification slots. At the most, they may allow direct entry for 4 teams. That means that the remaining test nations need to play qualifiers and I don't think that the ICC will agree to this.

Right now ICC will not involve in any talk like this because now most of time they talk about increasing money and they are generating some godo amount from current events so Olympics is not in agenda of their talk so I don't think we are going to have like this in near future even its not bad at all this could be very good for many countries to bring in this cricket circle.

Man, Just for experiment. i want to see more than 24 team in one T-20 WC, no matter if its economic disaster or not... ICC should go for it.

For Olympics T-10 seems logical to me.

I would love to see two dozen teams in the T20 World Cup. But then, the ICC would never agree. On paper, they have 16 teams. But 8 of these teams are restricted to the first phase, and only 4 out of the 8 will advance to the proper tournament.

I am not a big fan of T10 format. It is too short for me. I watched the 2019 T10 league on TV and didn't liked it that much. It has nothing for the bowlers. Even T20 is heavily in favor of the batsmen, but T10 is just like a bowler's gas chamber. Why can't we have T20 in the Olympics?

Because even T-20 format seems long to me when i look at from Olympic's perspective.

Normally one T-20 world cup takes around 28ish days to finish with 12-16 teams. now imagine you are trying to fit this event in 20 days event which is Olympics. to make matter worse let's say minimum 20 cricket teams participating in Olympics, seems very tight schedule to me, in the end players might want to suicide for sure.

Why you 20 cricket teams should participate in Olympics ? Since we have only 8-9 regular playing nations, including 20 teams would mean a lot of boring matches. It would be better if they have a pre-Olympics qualifier and only the top 8 teams qualify for Olympics, if ever the cricket is included in the WC.

Yes 20 teams would just be too much because top 8 teams would be the best to get some good cricket. Though 20 teams can participate in the pre qualifier and then bring down to 6-8 teams or so depends upon the allocation of time and place of cricket in Olympics. This would happen sooner or later in coming years and we will just have to wait and watch for this event.

A T20 match takes around 3 hours to complete. Just slightly longer than a football match and therefore I don't think that duration is an issue here. We can have 4 groups of 4 teams each for a total of 16 teams. Each team will play 3 matches during the group phase, with the top ranking team proceeding to the semi-finals. So each team plays a maximum of 5 matches. Entire tournament can be completed in 8-10 days.

official time duration is 3 hours but it takes approx 4 hours to finish one game completely.

How about they make this knockout tournament even from start(Group matches) ? If you lost then you are out.

I just thought that I would update you guys on the situation here in Australia with our local sports. Its looking like the AFL and NRL will start up soon which is a good sign for the T20 world cup as the AFL have said that they are happy to push their grand final back if they need to. If all goes to plan then we could see the T20 world cup played in October. We are seeing fewer cases here each week but as I have said, winter is just one month away and we could see this change very quickly.

Australia seems to have won the pandemic battle and they announced it as well. So it's good to see that things are getting normal there and by October, everything should be fine as already cases have reduced in most countries after the lock down.

If the ICC wants to accommodate cricket then they can and for the development of cricket this is the best option they have and yet they have not shown much interest,

Its not that ICC don't want this. But some cricket board has their eyes on short-term benefits, call it short sighted attitude. (ECB-BCCI)

ECB - Earlier they were not in favor of this move because according to them Olympics and their county season schedule always clash. ICC told ECB to %$#@ off and told them to deal with it as Olympic comes after 4 years and only for 2 weeks or so...

BCCI - They are major roadblock atm and International Olympic Council (IOC) want all major countries especially India at any cost otherwise they are not interested in the cricket. BCCI has couple of serious concerns. ICC and BCCI both are working on it.

NADA (National Anti Doping Agency) -Indian cricketers/BCCI and Indian Doping agency had some misunderstanding (They wanted to control every cricketer all the time) and NADA record is not good but things are working fine atm as both bodies are working together on trial basis.
IOC (Indian Olympic Commission) -BCCI don't want to lose autonomy to them, Which seems real concern as BCCI did all the hard work and made billion dollar product from scratch. And IOC sucks anyway, too much politics with shitty subcontinent bureaucracy. Who knows if in future they introduce quota/reservation in cricket too?

Quote

if they include cricket then they can follow the same path as football with qualification tournaments and 16 teams with a group stage of 4 group and then a knockout stage. Even if cricket is accepted i do not think that the top teams will send their best team to represent as it will clash with the regular schedule and at best they will send a second string team.

As far as i know football in the Olympic is not big thing per se because majority of the players are required to be under 23 age. if this happens with cricket then its not real deal IMO. Schedule and dividing groups are open to discussion, they are more than capable of handling this issue so its not a big deal.

Chines in cricket this could be very interesting but not good because my prediction is Chines could be not good in cricket most of peoples in China will not like this sport because its not for them. Wink

China do have national cricket teams (both for men/women, as well as for various age groups) and therefore your statement is not true. But the popularity is near zero there. In countries such as China, cricket is being regarded as a sport which is limited to the Commonwealth countries. This attitude needs to change. Unfortunately, the ICC is not putting much effort in this regard.

Man, Just for experiment. i want to see more than 24 team in one T-20 WC, no matter if its economic disaster or not... ICC should go for it.

For Olympics T-10 seems logical to me.

24 is really difficult but 16 is realistic because now we have few teams those can give tough time in this format so this is really good idea and for Olympics T-10 is also really good because we already enjoying this format and this can give really big boost in this Olympics as well if the want to do something.

Practically, I doubt 24 teams in one T20 WC will be added. There are some boards who will oppose this move by ICC as you mentioned "economic disaster".

T10 for Olympics is a good idea and can be easily done.

If China starts playing cricket then i can imagine a cricketing world without BCCI. But then BCCI and Chinese board make a new deal and cut out the ICC or rest of the world. After all this, will bitch about PIG-2 ( China-India) instead of PIG-3.

LOL... the Chinese government give funds only for Olympic sports. And that is the reason some of the smaller cricket boards were angry at the ICC's decision to not to try for the Olympic games. I think that this is the case all around the world. Government grants are allotted only to those sports, which feature in the Olympic games.

Anyway, I heard that the Chinese board got some funds from the government, after cricket was included in the Asian Games.
