Another interesting thing is that it is now being played at Asian Games and will be played at Olympics from 2028 but not at CWG.
Probably doesn’t help that a single game lasts about two months.
The shorter codifications such as T10 for 90 minutes are relatively recent, but the standard game varies between a few hours to a few days depending on the type of match. They’d need to choose one specifically, and have it be at least semi-popular.
Womenβs cricket was at the last games, both will be at the next games
Iβm not dialed into the cw games but seriously wtf
Cricket has been played in a format that lasts for 5 days per game for more than a hundred years.(Used to be timeless actually for sometime). A new format that lasts 9 hours started which allowed for world cups that have been around for 50 years. A newer format that lasts 4 hours was introduced 20 years back that was finally palatable for multi game events and since then there has been an effort to include the games in Olympics and Cwg. It will be in the 2028 olympics as well as in the 2026 commonwealth games. Already has been played in the Asian games this year as well. The womenβs game has already been played in the Commonwealth games in 2022.
