Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne backs inclusion of cricket in Olympics
London, Oct 27 (IBNS) Cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne have backed the inclusion of T20 cricket as Olympic sports.
"I'd love to see it as an Olympic sport and, who knows, down the track it might be," Warne told BBC.

The game had once featured in the Olympics in 1900.
