Virender Sehwag Backs T10 Format For Olympics

Written by Vipin Darwade

Cricket fans are going to witness the batting of former Indian maverick opener Virender Sehwag once again. Sehwag will be captaining the Maratha Arabians team, which will feature in the T10 Cricket League to be played from December 14-17 in the UAE.

Fittingly, Sehwag feels the T10 format will take cricket to the Olympics in the near future.

“I think (if) we are talking about (the fact) that cricket should be a part of the Olympics, I think T10 is the right format. Because it gets over in 90 minutes and it’s like a football match and a result will come. So I think, this is the right format, if ICC is thinking about talking to the (International) Olympic Association that cricket should be part of that (the Olympics),” Sehwag said at an event.

“Now the ICC (International Cricket Council) has to think if they want to take this to (International) Olympic Association (Committee) or not. All the nations, who are smaller nations, who are playing four-day, Test matches, One-Day or T20, they can play T10 and cricket can be part of Olympic as well,” added Sehwag.
