Cricket at the 2028 Olympics history
The Olympics has hosted Cricket just once, in 1900, before being cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of entries.
In the 1900 games, only Great Britain and France competed, with Great Britain winning by 158 runs.
The French side was seen as a "mixed side" having been made up mostly of expats whereas Great Britain was not nationally selected and only contained players from Devon and Somerset Wanderers Cricket Club.
