We often talk about cricket's inclusion in the Olympics here. Here's another option.
The World Games are the lesser-known cousin of the Olympics, featuring sports that are not in the Olympics.
This includes sports like karate, billiards, powerlifting, and korfball, as well as the quirkier orienteering, dance sport, and finswimming.
Several sports (badminton, rugby sevens, taekwondo, triathlon) debuted in the World Games before being promoted to the Olympics. Others, like tug of war, moved back from the Olympics into the World Games.
The next two World Games are in Birmingham, Alabama (2021) and Chengdu, China (2025).
What’s best, the federations of these sports are members of the International World Games Association (IWGA). So cricket could become a part of the World Games without ICC or any national body losing control.
