IOC, ICC Unveil Qualification Pathway For Cricket At LA28 Olympics
Final Olympic Global Qualification Tournament: Cricket's return to the Olympic Games after a gap of 128 years took a significant step forward on Monday after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved the qualification system for the men's and women's competitions at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics (LA28), outlining distinct qualification pathways for the two events.
The approval confirms that six teams each will compete in the men's and women's T20 tournaments at LA28, with each squad comprising a maximum of 15 players. A total of 180 athletes -- 90 men and 90 women -- will feature in cricket's first Olympic appearance since the 1900 Paris Games, where the sport was contested only once.
The qualification system, published jointly by the IOC and the International Cricket Council (ICC), reveals that while both competitions will feature six teams, the qualification routes differ considerably between the men's and women's events.
