In an exclusive interview with Dainik Jagran, Richard Gould heaped praise on the Indian cricket board. India is likely to bid to host the 2036 Olympics, where cricket could mark its presence alongside the other major events. Richard Gould mentioned that they will support India and the BCCI if cricket is included in the Olympics.
Additionally, he mentioned that the Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad in 2030 will be a great opportunity for India to make their preparations for the 2036 Olympics.
ECB and BCCI already have a blueprint for the upcoming 10-15 years
If the claims made by Gould are to be believed, then India and England both have plans for the next decades or more than that. The revival of Test and ODI formats is one of the main priorities in the long-term plans framed jointly by the ECB and BCCI.
Back-to-back finals of the World Test Championships (WTCs) became one of the most discussed topics among cricket fans. ICC provided the rights to the England cricket board to host three consecutive WTC finals on their grounds. In defence of the decision made by ICC, Gould mentioned that England has a huge fan following across the world, which ensures a full-house stadium for the WTC finals.

Multiple tri-nation ODI series are in the line
To revive the ODI format, BCCI and ECB have planned for multiple tri-nation ODI series in the future, which will increase the competitive nature of the format. In the next 12 to 18 months, there can be multiple ODI tri-nation series.
Richard Gould also mentioned that they prefer fewer complications in their cricket schedule. However, they are open to talking about the possible options.
