That's a fantastic idea. Would be interesting how European nations decide if at all something like that happens. I believe British Isles and the surrounding , Nordic Countries, Spain, France, Portugal, Turkey etc almost 90% of Europe would go for cricket. If at all we have the games in Africa (just imagination for now) it'll be cricket. Except Korea, Taiwan, China, Japan all of Asia would go for cricket too.

Noorderling29 139 Posted September 2, 2023 #193 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Seems very unlikely that European countries outside UK and Ireland would chose cricket over Baseball. Both are minority sports, but Baseball seems the more popular on the continent Edited September 2, 2023 by Noorderling29 De_Gambassi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finished top 8 in the most recent WC and also have qualified for ODI WC. Nordic countries host a lot of international cricket and have a stadiums too. Denmark has even played at WC before.

Noorderling29 139 Posted September 2, 2023 #198 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) NL is much more a baseball than a cricket country. Baseball is played in school and gets significant attention on TV. Cricket gets little attention; even the recent good results only merit perhaps a 45 second item in a sports program. I seriously doubt many people in this country are aware of or even care about the results of the national Cricket team.

Boxing has all but been confirmed to be in the 2028 program. No idea about weightlifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
