Cricket could miss Commonwealth Games 2022

Plans to include cricket in the Commonwealth Games of 2022 have been abandoned.

While women's cricket was originally set to be included when the Games were awarded to Durban, the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) is determined to achieve 'gender parity' and is reluctant to include disciplines which will not be contested by men and women.

Now, with Durban having surrendered its right to host the Games and the ICC still deliberating whether they want men's cricket to be included, it appears the sport has run out of time.
