T20 format cricket is now the most popular format of the game. Matches are over in 3 hours. Inclusion of a T20 competition in the Olympics is actively being considered - although it’s actually the Indian cricket board which is holding this up. As for ‘not worldwide’ - the 2014 Final of the cricket World Cup (50-over ODI format) had a worldwide TV audience of over 1.5 billion - believed to be the highest ever for a single sporting event.
(There are now three formats for international cricket. T20 is the shortest (about 3 hours). One-day internationals (’ODIs’) have 50 over a side and take about 8 hours. Test matches, the oldest and still most prestigious form of the game, although with dwindling audiences, take up to 5 days.)
