USA Cricket chief Paraag Marathe said Twenty20 cricket is tailor-made for the Olympics, but the sport's administrators will consider any format which would ensure the game's inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Games
The International Cricket Council is preparing a bid for the game's return to the Olympics having last featured in the 1900 Paris Games.Marathe is part of the ICC Olympic Working Group, which is chaired by English board chief Ian Watmore and includes, among others, former PepsiCo Inc CEO Indra Nooyi.
Twenty20 cricket - which lasts about three hours as opposed to as long as five days for tests - has proved immensely successful, illustrated best by the sustained popularity of the cash-rich Indian Premier League . "I think the T20 format is one that is easily digestible and works. It certainly works from a timing perspective. It fits the format of American sports, roughly three hours," Marathe explained.
"The most important thing for us is to get cricket in the Games. We do go in thinking that T20 is probably the best."
