Lol, it goes for cricket that only Commonwealth countries play it. Hardly a world sport though it being the most popular sport in a country of more than 1 billion people does help its cause.

As for baseball, I know that there's a league in Japan but I'm not sure with Korea. It's surprising that it hasn't caught on here in India though. I think it's part snobbery, part money.

But apparently, there was talk about trying to re-introduce baseball at the Olympics which didn't go down well in the cricket world.
