Qualifier to determine final participant
Cricket is the first discipline to announce qualifying teams for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games as the sport makes a landmark re-entry to the prestigious multi-sport event scheduled from 28 July to 8 August next year.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) made the announcement on Monday as women’s cricket features in the Games for the first time in 22 editions and cricket for only the second time ever, the first occasion being a men’s ODI competition in Kuala Lumpur in 1998, which was won by South Africa.
That was clearest and most direct path.
Hamilton hosted the first iteration of the Commonwealth Games, which was the British Empire Games, in 1930.
In reverting to the poetry of a centenary Games in 2030 and away from the slam dunk of 2026, Hamilton will likely be up against competing bids from Australia, the United Kingdom and other countries.
The successful host city is expected to be named in 2023.
Rumblings of Victoria interest
Hamilton unsuccessfully pursued the 1994, 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games. Victoria was the last Canadian host city in 1994.
Birmingham, England, will be the 2022 site.
A possible 2030 hurdle for Hamilton comes from within Canada, however. There are rumblings Victoria is interested in 2026.
A group of business owners and community leaders under the banner of Hamilton 100 obliged, but the pivot didn t gain traction.
The Ontario government wasn t willing to commit to a Commonwealth Games until 2027 or later, and the CWF had little interest in coming off its traditional schedule of a Games every four years. We felt we should go back to the original plan, bid committee spokesman Louis Frapporti told The Canadian Press on Wednesday. That was clearest and most direct path.
