The International Olympic Committee session in Vancouver, Canada on Thursday approved its Executive Board's decision to convert the 'provisional' recognition of the ICC to 'full recognition'.

Haroon Lorgat, the ICC CEO said: "The ICC is extremely proud of the recognition given by the IOC which we always considered to be our first step in becoming a part of the Olympic family.

At this stage no consideration or decision has been made regarding participation or applying for approval to participate in the Olympics."
