Team GB to be handed place in men's T20 at LA Olympics

Team GB will be guaranteed a place in the men's cricket tournament at LA 2028 after the International Cricket Council opted to use the regional qualifying format favoured by the Olympic movement.

- Matt Hughes

The decision is understood to have provoked a backlash from Pakistan and New Zealand, who face missing out on cricket's return to the Olympics after 128 years, with India and Australia to be awarded spots from Asia and Oceania respectively based on the ICC rankings. The International Olympic Committee favours regional qualifying to ensure all parts of the world are represented.

With the return limited to two six-team T20 tournaments, qualification had been expected to be tightly contested, particularly with the USA side in line to be given an automatic place as host nation.
