The International Olympic Committee session in Vancouver, Canada yesterday approved its Executive Board’s decision to convert the ‘provisional’ recognition of the ICC to ‘full recognition’.

Haroon Lorgat, the ICC Chief Executive, said: “The ICC is extremely proud of the recognition given to our great sport by the IOC which we always considered to be our first step in becoming a part of the Olympic family.

“At this stage no consideration or decision has been made regarding participation or applying for approval to participate in the Olympic Games.”
