Cricket is an optional sport at the quadrennial Commonwealth Games. It first appeared at the 1998 Games, with a men's tournament seeing South Africa defeat Australia by 4 wickets in the final. Matches were played over 50 overs and had List A status rather than being full One Day Internationals. The sport returned to the Games' programme at the 2022 Games, with a women's tournament taking place. Matches were played under the Twenty20 format, with the tournament won by Australia. A women's Twenty20 tournament had been planned to be included in the 2026 Games, with a men's tournament also considered. However the withdrawal of original hosts Victoria, led replacement hosts Glasgow to announce only a streamlined event with cricket one of several sports removed from the program. As is normal at the multi-sport events, Caribbean countries that enter participate as separate nations rather than the amalgamated West Indies team. The England team likewise represents only England and not Wales.
