Cricket is reportedly not likely to be an Olympic sport in the foreseeable future while a decision on squash may be made in 2009, said Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Tuesday.
Rogge said, “International Cricket Council itself has not applied for Olympic membership and the game is unlikely to get entry into the IOC community though I myself am fond of cricket”.
But Rogge said he would like to include squash at the 2016 Games. He said “the host city of 2016 Olympics would be decided in 2009 and at that time the sports to be played in 2016 Olympics will also be decided”.
