Karachi:  International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge has proclaimed himself as a cricket fan but said the sport was unlikely to be included in the Olympic Games in near future as the ICC had not approached them for the same.


"International Cricket Council itself has not applied for Olympic membership and the game is unlikely to get entry into the IOC community though I myself am fond of cricket," Rogge said.

About the bid of squash to become Olympic sport, Rogge said IOC was keen to include this game in the 2016 Olympics.

"The host city of 2016 Olympics would be decided in 2009 and at that time the sports to be played in 2016 Olympics will also be decided," he was quoted as saying by the 'Dawn' today.

Rogge also said Asia would have the largest representation at 2008 Beijing Olympics.

"Not only China but Asia will have its biggest participation in Olympics 2008," he said.
