Hi,
For Cricket not being an Olympic sport, there are more than one reasons which differ cricket from all other games being played Olympics.
The reasons may be like,
1.Time-consuming.
2.Requires a lot and good infrastructure.
3.It's not a global sport(not played in many countries as a national game).
These few reasons must give you a fair idea for India not being an olympic sport.
But one day as afew reports claims,Cricket will be in olympics with more changes in rules like reduced overs..
- Hope it helped.
