Kane Tanaka is the most established living individual on the planet at 117 years and 137 days. Indeed, even she was too youthful to even think about having seen cricket's just Summer Games appearance, harking back to the 1900 Paris Olympics. With up to 1.2 billion fans dwelling in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, the Summer Olympics can help develop cricket, the world's second most famous game with an expected worldwide fan base of 2.5 billion, past its conventional ward stations.

 In the interim, from the International Olympic Committee's point of view, cricket's incorporation could support unassuming TV sees in the previously mentioned Indian subcontinent, which makes up almost a fourth of the total populace. The two sides remain to profit by cricket's arrival to the Olympics. However the game won't highlight in Tokyo or in the 2024 Games in Paris.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India, Indian cricket's administering body, has since a long time ago dreaded losing its self-governance to the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA). Up until August 2019, the BCCI had redistributed the assortment of doping tests to the Sweden-based International Dope Testing Management (IDTM), which at that point sent them to the National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL) in New Delhi.

The BCCI's wavering around WADA consistence, be that as it may, was filled by the "whereabouts provision." Under this statement, every competitor is required to detail three explicit dates in a year when they are not contending, however are accessible to have dope test tests gathered. The BCCI saw this as a protection issue that represented a security danger for its cricketers. With the Indian market producing an expected 70 percent of the International Cricket Council's (ICC's) income, cricket couldn't have propelled an offered for Olympic consideration without the favors of the powerful BCCI.

In August 2019, the BCCI — ordered by Indian Supreme Court changes planned for getting rid of debasement and advancing straightforward administration — at last went under the authority of NADA. This has made ready for India's female cricketers to show up in an eight-group Commonwealth Games competition in 2022, stamping just the second time that cricket will highlight at the occasion. The BCCI and ICC appear to be nearer than any time in recent memory to making an offer for the 2028 Games in LA, wherein case they will no doubt favor the T20 group — an absorbable three-hour variant of the game. Notwithstanding, this is the place cricket's Olympic aspirations hit one more BCCI-motivated detour. The BCCI runs its own yearly T20 local association called the Indian Premier League (IPL). The IPL is by a wide margin the most well known and the most worthwhile T20 local alliance on the planet.

Generally, the BCCI has been careful about contending T20 occasions weakening the IPL's business incentive to supporters, to such an extent that they don't permit Indian players to play in any non-Indian household T20 classes. This denies those alliances of enormous scope presentation to the monstrous Indian market, in this manner guaranteeing that they can't grow out of the IPL.

"It's simply a question of the BCCI. In the event that India concurs for cricket to turn into an Olympic game, it will end up being an Olympic game. The IOC needs cricket. They need India playing in the Olympics. Also, cricket needs it too."
