RE: 5 Sports which was removed from the Olympics through the years

Not if you play 20 over cricket. That could be really nice. Exciting to watch and can be played under lights. The real question is how broadly is the sport played. There are more than 200 Olympic federations, and a fair amount of them need to play the sport for it to be included. With Ireland and Afganistan added there are only 12 countries that plays "Test" cricket over 5 days. Also only about 20 countries play 50 over (one day) cricket! The list is far larger with 20 over cricket, and it is far easier for new countries to start playing that format.
