Cricket returns to the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028, and the ICC, together with the IOC, has confirmed how teams qualify for the men’s and women’s T20 competitions. The format will feature six teams in each event. Sources report that five qualification places per tournament will be decided through the ICC’s existing competition structure, including elements such as T20I rankings, and a new “ICC Olympics Qualifier” that determines the remaining spots. The qualifier is scheduled for 2027 and is expected to involve teams competing for the final places at LA28. One outlet also notes that Great Britain has already qualified for the women’s event under the pathway. Another report adds that ICC Chairman Jay Shah describes the decision as a milestone and highlights that qualification will be determined through a combination of ICC-led events and the dedicated Olympics qualifier. Across coverage, the key elements are that the competitions are T20, there are six teams per gender at LA28, and qualification relies on a mix of ICC criteria and a dedicated qualifier event before the Olympics.
