A campaign has been launched to include cricket in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Labour Assembly member Murad Qureshi has set up an online petition and Facebook page. He wants the sport to be included in its Twenty20 form, in which matches normally take between two and three hours.
Traditionally, each Olympic host nation includes a national sport as a "demonstration" event. China showcased Wushu, a full-contact sport derived from traditional martial arts.
Mr Qureshi said: "If the Chinese can show Wushu to the world, I can see no reason why London shouldn't have cricket in 2012. It is this country's summer game after all." He will present the petition to the International Olympics Committee and London Organising Committee next month. To sign it go to: www.twenty20for2012.com
