Cricket In 2028 LA Olympics Will Have Six-team Men’s And Women’s T20 Events, Says ICC

By IANS News November 08, 2025 • 10:42 AM View: 276

The International Cricket Council (ICC) said the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles will see both the men’s and women’s T20 formats set to take place with six teams each. The combined schedule will include 28 matches, marking a historic milestone for the sport’s global expansion and its re-entry into the Olympic fold after more than a century.

The IOC approved cricket’s inclusion for LA28 last year, and it will mark the sport's second-ever Olympic appearance, 128 years after its debut in Paris 1900, when Great Britain claimed gold in a one-off match against France.
