West Indies's swashbuckling opener Chris Gayle wants cricket's latest and shortest format-T10-to be included in the Olympic Games roster.

Gayle, who will be representing Team Abu Dhabi in the upcoming season of Abu Dhabi T10 League, sees T10 as a format which can propel cricket entry into the world's biggest sporting extravaganza. Speaking from his home in Jamaica, Gayle said he is looking forward to taking part in the tournament.

"At the moment, I'm actually getting some well-needed rest but keeping the Abu Dhabi T10 League in mind, I'm going to start some training soon and get ready to be back in business," he said. Talking about T10's future prospects, Gayle said, "I would absolutely love to see T10 within the Olympics. It would be something huge for the sport from a general point of view."
