Hint: Continental Games
Answer: The 2010 Asian Games
The 2010 Asian Games, also known as the XVI Asiad, are scheduled to take place in Guangzhou, China from November 12 to November 27, 2010. Guangzhou is the second city in China to host the Games after Beijing in 1990. A total of 476 events in 42 sports will be contested by athletes, making it the largest event in history of the Games. It will also be the last one to have presented such big events, as the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) have enforced new hosting rules for future games, beginning with the 2014 Games.
Cricket is among the five debutant sports in the Games. However, India despite its historical record has decided not to send its cricket team to the Games, according to the Board of Control for Cricket in India it is due to earlier "international commitments".[39] Similar rumours are also afoot about the Sri Lankan cricket team, but any final decision is yet to be made.
