Gilchrist Plugs Cricket As An Olympic Sport.

LONDON: Adam Gilchrist, the retired Australian cricket international call for the sport to make a concerted effort to be included in the Olympics. "The single best way to spread the game globally," said Gilchrist, "is for the ICC to actively seek its inclusion as an Olympic sport." "Without doubt the Olympic movement provides one of the most efficient and cost effective distribution networks for individual sports to spread their wings globally. It would be difficult to see a better, quicker or cheaper way of spreading the game throughout the world." Several moves have been made by the game's administrators in recent years to begin a campaign to get cricket back in the Olympics.
