Can cricket be an international sport someday?

Question

I respect american baseball or football. But, I think that cricket should be played in every continent [execpt antartica of course] as it is such a great game!

Answer 1

I do not think cricket will become an international sport in the near future.

Answer 2

of course and i think it does

Answer 3

It already is!

Answer 4

it already is played in every continent, and as for american football and baseball, they aint even that popular, cricket is the second most popular sport in the world

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

It is an international sport, they also played it in america but they just dont have players that pass international category, my bro in law in missisipi played cricket when he was only a child he told me.

Answer 7

Why not?

Answer 8

Cricket is played on every continent at the moment (Including Antarctica - I remember seeing photos of scientists playing in The Wisden Cricketer), but I presume you mean will it be high profile all over the world, in particular the USA. I hope so, but, at the same time, I hope its not the IPL that does it. I hope that it is the traditional international matches that become high profile, be it Test, ODI or T20. Lets hope all three.

I also feel that T20 is the ideal form of the game for the Olympics as cricket is like the only major sport not in the Olympics - it was, once, in 1900!

Answer 9

It is an international sport! Just the other day I was talking to my friend from Estonia and he was telling me all about how they play ice cricket!! Yet he has never even heard of football before! However that might just be because he isn't the best at speaking English! :)

Answer 10

Cricket is an internation sport, just some countries, which don't have enough players/or sick, so if they weren't sick and had enough players, WE WOULD LET THEM IN!!
