Cricket is an optional sport at the quadrennial Commonwealth Games.[1] 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 will be part of the Games' program for a second time at the 2022 Games, with a women's tournament scheduled to take place.[2] Matches will be played under the Twenty20 format.[3]
As is normal at the multisport events, Caribbean countries that enter participate as separate nations, not as the combined West Indies team.
