Hai friends , now the scenario is different and there is a hope that the T 20 format might be there in2012 London Olympics....But for the past 100 years the game was not included in the olympics except in 1900 Paris Olympics..

There were 4 teams likeley to participate in the event

1)Great Britan

2)Netherland

3)Belgium

4)France

But Both Netherland and Belgium withdrew from the event and only Two countries partcipated in the event.But neither side doesnt had a national Team but only a club side,

Devon and Somerset Wanderers club represented Great breitan and French Athletic Club Union club represents France and the match includes 12 players per team.It was a 2 day game played at Vélodrome de Vincennes on 19th August 1900

Scorecard:

First innings:

Devon and Somerset Wanderers:117 all out

French Athletic Club Union: 78 all out

Second Innings:

Devon and Somerset Wanderers:145/5 declare

Target: 185

French Athletic Club Union: 26 all out

And that was the only cricket match played in Olympics.Hopes atleast it is included in 2012 London Olympics
