The oppoosition to cricket being in the Olympics mostly came from the cricketing boards of India & England I believe. If cricket was reintroduced, I wonder if it would be for preofessional players or younger players? I think it t would be a good way to showcase off young cricketing talent but I guess a limit of pro players would be a good thing. And after all this time, would we still be classed as Olympic cricket champions?
Just realised Charle - Caribbean Olympic Committee (COC) James May's favourite word (with one letter missing!)
