Six-team T20 tournaments will feature in LA
The prospect of Team GB playing cricket at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games has moved a step closer with confirmation the England and Wales Cricket Board and Cricket Scotland are joining forces for the sport’s long-awaited return.
Cricket has not featured at the Olympics since 1900 – Great Britain’s men beat France in a two-team tournament – but two six‑team T20 tournaments for men and women are booked in for the LA Games. The qualification criteria is yet to be announced but the ECB and Cricket Scotland are establishing GB Cricket to oversee their potential teams.
