Sports Desk: International cricket is still played in three formats - Test cricket in white and ODI and T20 cricket in color. However, ten-over T-10 cricket has already started gaining popularity. The franchise-based T-10 cricket league has been running for the last few years with the participation of world famous stars. The new edition of the T-10 League is going to be held in Dubai this month.

Given the popularity of this format, MCC president and legendary batsman Kumar Sangakkara also thinks that the future of cricket lies in this T-10. Sangakkara is of the opinion that T-10 will play a big role in the inclusion of cricket in the Olympics in particular. The Sri Lankan legend will be the mentor of Team Abu Dhabi in the upcoming T-10 league. He thinks that the Twenty20 T20 cricket started with a strong discussion about the inclusion of the game in the Olympics.

This time with T-10 cricket it can be implemented soon. Sangakkara commented, ‘T20 cricket has given a very big positive push to the inclusion of cricket in the Olympics. Will there be T20 cricket in the Olympics? Will they think of a shorter format like T-Ten in this case? The Olympics have a lot to do with the inclusion of cricket. ' What are they?

"Every country's cricket board has to come forward," Sangakkara said. The ICC has to insist. The Olympics need to be formatted in such a way that the calculation of time will play an important role, keeping the Olympic spectators stuck. Because they are not like other cricket spectators. A whole new audience. ' He added, ‘Cricket has been trying to get into the Olympics for many years. Cricket has been played in a few editions of the Commonwealth Games.

I think it (T-10 cricket) is a format that can be considered as T-10 or T-20? The best of the two should be included in the Olympics. ' The fourth edition of Dubai T-10 League will start from January 26. Which will continue from 6 February. Stars like Chris Gayle and Eoin Morgan are taking part in this year's event.
