MUMBAI, Dec 22: The Commonwealth Games organisers had made a proposition to the Board of Control for Cricket in India to include cricket in the list of events in its New Delhi edition, and the Board will take its call on it on Saturday (today).

If BCCI accepts the proposal, it will however not be the first time the game was played at the Games, the first time being in 1998 in Kuala Lumpur. Since then though, cricket was not made a part of the following Commonwealth Games in Manchester and Melbourne.

A source has said that BCCI Chief Sharad Pawar had met the Commonwealth Games

Federation Chief (Michael Fennell) along with Arun Jaitley last month and a letter has been received proposing cricket's inclusion in the 2010 Commonwealth Games at Delhi. The BCCI working committee will meet on Saturday to take a decision on it.

If cricket is included, it will be after a gap of 12 years since its debut. However, the source added that the matter was not on the working committee's agenda. - Agencies
