No cricket at Asian Games
Hopes of cricket being part of the Doha Asiad were firmly squashed after the Olympic Council of Asia decided to drop it from the games after the Asian Cricket Council was unable to confirm participation of the first-XI players from the major teams, i.e. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The first reports on cricket being a competitive event at the games were way back in July last year.
There is still hope though for cricket to be included in the 2012 Olympics, if London wins the bid.
