Great Britain cricket team one step closer to fruition for Los Angeles Olympics

May 30, 2025

The Island

A Great Britain (GB) team - comprising men's and women's players from England, Scotland and potentially Northern Ireland - is one step closer to being ratified by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket Scotland, ahead of cricket's return to the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028.

A new entity, GB Cricket, is being formulated for what would be the men's team's de facto defence of a title they last won in Paris in 1900, in cricket's last appearance at the Olympics.

The activities of GB Cricket are to be overseen by a board with both executive and non-executive representatives from the ECB and Cricket Scotland. An MOU will also be put in place with Cricket Ireland to give Northern Irish players an opportunity to compete at the Olympics, too.
