"Always felt like cricket should be a part of the Olympics" - Rahul Dravid
With the USA serving as co-hosts of the T20 World Cup 2024, Dravid feels the country has a massive potential for cricket to grow and is excited at the prospect of the sport's inclusion in the 2028 edition.
"We know there is an incredible audience for cricket in the USA. We know that just from the number of people who travel from USA to other World Cup events. There is a huge passion for the game in the USA. Just growing the game and having more people play the game was phenomenal. It always felt like cricket should be a part of this [Olympics]. It is truly a great game."
