Another victory for T20..

All you T20 fans still trying to figure out who the mystery blogger posing as a Kolkata Knight Riders player is,here's some more good news...The 16th Asian games to be held in 2010 in China touted as the Olympics equivalent for the Asian continent will now include the T20 event. Test playing nations like India,Pakistan,Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have already qualified for the event.

In fact,the major reason why this was included in the games was the immense popularity that the T20 World Cup as well as the currently in its second spell IPL T20 series has garnered.With the inclusion at the Olympic level, we can surely be guaranteed of our T20 quota of entertainment in the years to come even if the IPL ceases to exist(which seems to be nearly impossible).

Also close on the announcement, excitement has once again started to build up as viewers would be able to get the dose of a India-Pakistan match which they have been deprived of owing to the recent attacks in Mumbai and the subsequent non-action on the part of our neighbour to nail the perpetrators.This would also give the Pakistani cricket team the much needed impetus since now no Cricket playing nation is willing to participate in matches held on its soil.

As far as China is concerned,its a very good opportunity for them to once again repeat the success of staging world class event after the splendid organization of the previous Olympics Games. Also being the host nation it qualifies automatically for the T20 matches.. They might be leading in terms of manufacturing and Olympic gold medals,but lets see how they match up to the magnitude of cricketing skills that India possesses.

Till then, we can hope to bring the Asian games Gold medal in the T20 event to where it belongs, India...
