Melbourne maybe the option because Australia might support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think either will make it unless the IOC decides to expand the quota limit or drop another team sport, both if which looks unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats because of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)'s intervention. Under Olympic rules, all national sports federation need to report to the respective country's Olympic association. But BCCI is autonomous and doesn't come under Indian Olympic Association. Most of the cricket revenue comes from India and hence they control International Cricket Council (ICC) as well.

Joshi 91 Posted August 10, 2021 #48 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Cricket will be in the Olympics for Brisbane 2032 and dare I say it so will Netball. Baseball/Softball both gone. Australia won't let this opportunity slip for more gold medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
