Canadian cricket players hope to have an opportunity to qualify for 2028 Olympic Games
It’s been a good year for Canadian cricketers, who have regained their one-day international status and qualified for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup for the first time.
Ingleton Liburd, general manager of Cricket Canada, welcomes the Olympic news but is awaiting more details. The next challenge comes close to home with Canada set to compete next June in the T20 World Cup in the U.S. and West Indies. The Canadians failed to qualify for the eight previous editions of the T20 World Cup, which has expanded to 20 teams in 2024.
“We can focus on the sport more and that’s what was needed. Because before we were just part-time cricketers and it’s difficult to represent Canada and compete against other countries that are full-time cricketers.”
