6 men's and 6 women's teams will participate in the 2028 Olympics. 15 players can be selected in each team. However, it is not yet decided which 6 teams will be a part of the Olympics. The qualification process may be discussed at the International Cricket Council (ICC) annual conference to be held in Singapore from 17-20 July.
If reports are to be believed, the team can qualify on the basis of ranking, but in the last few months, speculations about the qualification tournament have also gained momentum. If a qualifying tournament is held, some associate countries can also participate in it. Only after the qualification process is decided, it will be known whether the Indian team will qualify directly on the basis of ranking or it will have to make a place by playing a qualifying tournament.
Cricket is making a comeback in the Olympics after 128 years. Earlier, cricket was organised in the Olympics in the year 1900. At that time, there was a match between Great Britain and France for the gold medal. In this match that lasted for two days, Great Britain defeated France and won the gold medal.
