In a media report that emerged on Wednesday, ECB is exploring the opportunity to establish Great Britain Cricket (GB Cricket) before the Olympics as it seeks qualification for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles for both men\u2019s and women\u2019s. The team will be comprised of players from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team Great Britain step closer to formation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As per a report from Espncricinfo, GB Cricket is expected to be officially constituted in the coming months, and it would then need to be officially recognised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the British Olympic Association (BOA) before becoming a full member of the National Olympic Committee (NOC). According to an ECB spokesperson, an agreement in principle with the ICC is already in place.<\/p>\n<p>If the above procedure goes according to plan, GB Cricket will serve as the primary body for the Olympic and Commonwealth Games, where cricket has been included.<\/p>\n<p>While qualification is not yet clear, the ICC is likely to use the T20I rankings to determine the status of teams to qualify for the Los Angeles Olympics. If this is the case, Team Great Britain\u2019s qualification will be secured if either England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland finish in the top six of ICC rankings.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"splide__list\">\n<li class=\"splide__slide cre-articles\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wionews.com\/world\/beth-martin-british-woman-dies-turkey-heart-goes-missing-1748401560655\" aria-label=\" British woman died mysteriously after landing in Istanbul.
