Speaking to reporters ahead of the second Test against India at Lord’s, Joe Root stressed how important it is to grow the game of cricket in as many countries as possible. So to have cricket as a sport on an Olympic stage would be perfect for its advertisement.
The Hundred seems to fit the bill: Joe Root
Joe Root feels that if at all cricket is introduced as an Olympic sport, the Hundred could be a perfect format for the same. Seeing the amount of excitement that The Hundred has brought to the game and the huge success that it has been, he feels it would be perfect for a huge stage like the Olympics.
Speaking about the cricket being played, Joe Root will certainly know that had it not been for his fantastic hundred in the second innings, England probably would have been 1-0 down in the series.
The England skipper will want more consistent contributions from his top order that seem to be failing too often for his liking. England’s bowling, on the other hand, has been decent and they would want to continue piling the pressure on the out-of-form Indian middle-order at Lord’s.
