Cricket is set to return to the Olympics after more than a century, with the T20 format included in the 2028 Los Angeles Games. However, with just three years to go, there is still no clarity on how teams will qualify for the six-team event. The ICC has yet to provide any official details on the qualification process.
This group, expected to be formed as early as Saturday during the ICC Board meeting, will include members from both the CEC and the Board. Its primary responsibility will be to propose a qualification system for the six-team T20 event at LA28.
