Cricket's world governing body is seeking membership of the International Olympic Committee so Twenty20 matches can be part of future Games.
"The long-term objective is to have cricket in the Olympics," International Cricket Council chief executive Malcolm Speed told reporters in India, reports BBC.
Cricket was last part of the Olympics in Paris in 1900 when Great Britain beat France to take the gold medal.
But it is due to be played at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.
Three years ago, the England and Wales Cricket Board began a campaign to have Twenty20 cricket included in future Olympics, prior to London being awarded the 2012 Games.
