From there, they will compete in the 2027 Olympics Qualifier
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Cricket Council (ICC) have confirmed the qualification process for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
Six teams will participate in both the Men’s and Women’s T20 competitions at the Games, with five places in each event being decided through a combination of ICC events and the T20I rankings.
Australia, Great Britain (via England), India and South Africa, for example, were confirmed as the first qualifiers to represent the continents of Oceania, Europe, Asia and Africa, respectively, after finishing the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup as the highest-placed eligible teams.
Meanwhile, the four highest-placed eligible teams on the ICC Men's T20I Team rankings from Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania on December 31 will advance to the men's event.
