There have been talks of making the T20 version of cricket a part of the Olympics with an ICC survey back in 2018 even suggesting that 87 per cent of the fans wanted the same.
However, BCCI, the most influential member of the International Cricket Council (ICC), has not shown interest in sending its team to the Olympics.
Cricket was also part of the Asian Games in 2010 and 2014 editions but the Indian board did not send any of its teams.
"I think it will be great for the game if the T20 format can become an Olympic sport because there are 75 (T20 nations); cricket is being played in so many countries. Obviously, it comes with its challenges, not least of all cricket's a game that requires certain kinds of facilities for it to be successful," Dravid told ESPNcricinfo.com.
"As we've just seen, the success of the IPL was in a large part due to the quality of wickets that were put out for the teams....If you can get the facilities in place, then why not.
"I am certainly for the expansion of the T20 game. And yeah, if it works in the schedule, if it's possible, I think cricket should endeavour to try and get into the Olympics at some stage. It might take some time, but yeah, why not," he added.
