"We have a responsibility to grow our game in new territories and amongst the women of the world," Gilchrist wrote. "I believe the Olympic Games is the vehicle the sport should use to aggressively sell the message of our sport to all 202 competing Olympic nations, so our sport is strong and robust in countries where it is currently played, and exciting and ground-breaking in countries who haven't yet caught the 'cricket-bug'."

Cricket has been deprived  of the Olympics status for over a century now. With 20-20, it is time that IOC recongnizes the game again and gives it a place in Olympics games.

With Beijing games just a week away, it is good time to muster support and lobby for it. I hope to see Cricket being played in 2020 if not earlier.
