It’s usually qualification not invitation for the Olympics isn’t it? Do the hosts get a slot? We did for the 2012 football. Never have been in otherwise, because we can never agree to compete together in whatever counts as the qualifying tournament.

Love cricket but hate the idea of short format cricket being in the Olympics.
Test cricket is purist form of the game, so things like this just feel like another step on the slippery slope.

That just isn’t cricket.
Well, the only other time it featured, at Paris 1900, it was two-day, two-innings, twelve-a-side so best not get too precious. Especially as everyone on here treats the Test Championship as a joke (as does the England captain).

Neither is GB, to be fair. Though you'd have Jamaica, St Kitts, Barbados etc competing individually, so doubt it would work.

There’s problem for us there isn’t there? The reason we never compete in the Olympics at football is because you always get a veto from the Scottish FA for a GB/UK team. Does cricket Scotland have the same veto here?

Dunno though we did compete as GB in 2012 at football.
