Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne bat for Cricket in Olympics sport

Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne have called for Twenty20 cricket to become an Olympic sport. The sport's governing body will meet the International Olympic Committee next month to discuss a possible bid. Warne and Tendulkar are captaining rival teams in a series of three Twenty20 all Star matches in the USA next month as they seek to use



their fame to help globalise the game. 

Their backing for an Olympic bid will increase the pressure on the International Cricket Council to reverse its resistance to the concept on the grounds that it might dilute the sport's existing competitions, such as the World Cup and World Twenty20
