History of the ICC Cricket World Cup
The first cricket Test match was played in 1877 between Australia and England. Cricket was contested at the 1900 Summer Olympics where Great Britain defeated France by 158 runs. However, the International Olympic Committee cancelled cricket as an Olympic sport afterwards.
2014 Asian Games
The changes in the non-Olympic sports featured at the Asian Games were influenced by discussions with organizers, who had suggested the removal of cricket from the program because they felt too few countries played it and because they lacked the infrastructure to host it. However, the OCA disputed the proposed removal of cricket, citing its popularity and viewer interest.The closing ceremony was held at 07:00 pm local time on October 4, 2014. The theme of the ceremony is ""Our Cherished Memories of Incheon"". The sequence of events featured the performances of National Dance Company of Korea, Gugak Center Dance Troupe and Kukkiwon.
