“The Olympics is not as nearly advanced in their discussions with us in that regard (as the Commonwealth Games’ proposal to have cricket in the 2022 event in Durban, South Africa) and CG certainly are more open to, not necessarily to Twenty20 cricket or one of the established formats, but they want to discuss other things like double wicket or mixed teams.”

Cricket was played in 1900 Olympic Games whereas in 1998 Commonwealth games, cricket was included.

“Bear in mind it’s not just what cricket wants, cricket might want to be part of the Olympics but the Olympics might not want cricket. They might want cricket subject to various conditions that we are not able to perform – we just need to find out from them exactly what they are thinking, how they are thinking and take it from there,” he added.
