One of the biggest and most talked about rivalries in cricket is the India vs Pakistan match, but these two teams now face each other only in ICC events or multi-team tournaments. There is no bilateral series between these two teams in any format. The last time both the teams were face to face in the Asia Cup 2025 final, where India won and became the champion. Women’s teams had competed in the recently concluded World Cup, here also India had won. Now in men’s cricket, both the teams will face each other in the T20 World Cup next year, but the discussion regarding Olympics 2028 is also intense. India vs Pakistan match may not be seen here.
During its recent board meeting in Dubai on Friday, the ICC confirmed that 6 teams each from men’s and women’s categories will participate in the Los Angeles Olympics. Looking at the current situation, it is believed that there will be no India vs Pakistan match in the 2028 Olympics.
Tournament roadmap ready
Instead of selecting teams based on the ICC T20 International rankings, the top teams from each region/continent will qualify. The sixth team will be decided through a global qualifier. Talking about T20 International rankings, India remains the number one team in the shortest format.
On the basis of existing rankings, Indian team from Asia, Australia from Oceania, England from Europe and South Africa from Africa will qualify. It remains to be seen whether the USA team, being the host country, will participate or the West Indies team will play. Let us tell you that cricket was included in the Olympics only once before. In the 1990 Paris Olympics, only the teams of France and Britain played, there was a direct final between them. Britain had won in this.
This means that there will be no India vs Pakistan match in the Olympics 2028 to be held in Los Angeles. Information about the global qualifier has also not been revealed yet. According to reports, ICC will release detailed information soon. The roadmap of the tournament is almost ready.
