Checked a couple of their recent scorecards. Names aren't just a bunch of ex pats from cricket playing nations either.

Getting quality equipment is a huge problem due to important restrictions still existing and it’s obviously a very niche sport there run by just several clubs in CABA.
The club I visited had maybe 7 plus teams though
Not sure if you just wanted a serious response or were just sledging

My country, Guyana, be representing South America in cricket. We should definitely have a team in the LA 2028 OlympicsJust saw this. US, Ireland, Aus and NZ all favouring a different brand of oval shaped ball sports.

Are there any details about how qualification will run for that tournament? Would be good to see PNG there and possibly Malaysia or Singapore.
And I wonder if Britain would include Ulstermen and Scots?

I actually read somewhere this week that the ECB are talking with Cricket Scotland about whether any of their players would be included.
Ulstermen would play for Ireland

Ulstermen get a choice at the Olympics in other sports AFAIK. UK or Ireland. Maybe cricket will be different?

Well I guess the assumption is that given they’d already play for Ireland in cricket on an all-Ireland basis, the same would apply for the Olympics. Seems unlikely someone would want to play for Team GB when they normally represent Ireland.

There were 2 Northern Irish hockey players that played for GB at the Olympics, but they had to switch from Ireland to England outside of the Olympics, think the IRFU said that Northern Irish rugby players could only represent Ireland at the Olympics. Which Northern Irish players could get into a GB squad if allowed, Stirling perhaps?

A Gaelic football is similar to a soccer ball tbfJust saw this. US, Ireland, Aus and NZ all favouring a different brand of odd ball shaped sports.
