In 2028, the Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, USA. Cricket will be one of the sports featured in the Games. However, England’s cricket team won’t be participating. Here’s why:
After the Paris Olympics, the next Games will be in Los Angeles. Five new sports will be included, and cricket is one of them. With cricket in the Olympics, both the Indian men’s and women’s teams are hopeful for medals.
But interestingly, England’s cricket team won’t be seen at the Olympics. The reason is that England is not a separate country in the Olympics. Players from England compete as part of Great Britain. This means that while English cricketers will play, they will represent Great Britain.
With cricket now in the Olympics, there will be a lot of excitement. The qualification for cricket might be based on ICC rankings.
Also, England and Wales will host the Women’s and Men’s T20 World Cups in 2026 and 2030. This is a great opportunity to promote cricket and inspire more people to take up the sport.
