Cricket is played around the world too. With the Indians moving to this country, I expect over time the US to start fielding competitive teams.

Cricket has been reformed quite a bit since my college days. In those days so called test matches between countries took 5 days, and 6 hours each days! It was a game for the rich people with much leisure time on hands. Now it has been made shorter, but I understand the match play still encompasses multiple days of play. Not suitable for Olympics unless they change the rules much more!
