India qualifies for women's cricket at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

The Indian women's cricket team won the Nation's first quota spot for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics on Monday.

The team secured their spot via their performance at the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, where they finished as the highest-placed team from the Asian continent.

The highest-ranked eligible National Olympic Committees (NOCs) from four different continents, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceania, have been awarded one quota spot.

The two top Asian nations, India and Sri Lanka, finished their group stage with six points each, but the former won the quota based on a better net run rate.

The three semi-finalists, Australia, Great Britain and South Africa, have also been confirmed for the LA Olympics quota spot for their respective continents.

Although the West Indies women’s team has also reached the semi-finals, they are not eligible for an Olympic quota as they are not recognised as a single IOC National Olympic Committee.

As a composite team representing multiple Caribbean nations, a separate West Indies Nations Regional Tournament will be held to determine which individual NOC from the region will advance to the final global Olympic qualifier.

Meanwhile, the Indian men's cricket team's qualification for the LA Olympics will depend on their world rankings as of 31st December 2026.
