Discussions are often held to include cricket in the world's largest sporting event. Although cricket is not considered fit for a big event like the Olympics, given the time spent in this sport played in Test and ODI formats for a long time, England cricket team captain Ayaan Morgan believes that the new format of T20 can help give cricket a place in the Olympics.

Cricket has never been part of the Olympics in modern times. However, in the Olympics in 1900, only one match took place between the team of Great Britain and France, which was won by Britain. It was definitely included in the 1998 Commonwealth Games, where South Africa defeated Australia in the final. After the introduction of T20 format, it was hoped that the sport would again find a place in big sporting events, but due to some reasons like doping code, it was not allowed. Now in the last 2-3 years, the introduction of only 10 overs format has once again emphasized this discussion.

Captain Morgan, who made England the world champion in ODI cricket for the first time, believes that this new format can prove to be important in this direction. At the launch of the Abu Dhabi T10 League on Tuesday 5 May, "One thing about T10 cricket that makes it appealing to the Olympics and the Commonwealth as compared to all three formats is that the entire tournament can be finished in just 10 days." ESPN Cricinfo quoted Morgan as saying that by organizing the entire tournament in such a short time, cricket will also get a large amount of exposure, which will be good for the game. Currently, the Commonwealth Games Federation has included women's T20 cricket in the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.
