Traitor is a nice way to describe him, really the only explanation for his actions (because I'm going to naively believe he is not actually dumb) is that he is a foreign agent and not even really hiding it, at all -
Not too familiar with this sport, but do the same athletes compete in boulder and lead? -
At 6 teams there should be no a rule a minimum 3 continents should be represented

Excellent suggestion & perhaps the most logical one. I think IOC & ICC will approve on a similar format. I would just tweak it a little bit. I won’t give a guaranteed host quota but allot 2 quotas in Americas-Africa qualifying tournament. Also Europe will have 1 fixed quota from their qualifying tournament. So , it will be 1 - 2016 T20 world champions 2&3 - Asian qualifying tournament 4&5 - Americas-Africa qualifying tournament 6- European qualifying tournament -

This is going a very tricky decision for the ICC. You can't really use the current world rankings because ranking points will be won or lost against teams that are not eligible for the Olympics. I think that any country who fails to qualify because will launch an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and probably win. So here's what I suggest for the six. 1 Possible host country place - USA - but only possible - what you do is recalculate the ICC rankings and take out all points gained against non-Olympic teams. Then once you done this and taken out non-Olympic countries like West Indies and either England and Scotland then if the USA are in a high enough ranking position they qualify. This position could be as high as 10th or as low as 20th depending on how important the IOC and ICC see their presence in LA. (I'm assuming that, like in curling and women's soccer Great Britain would nominate either England or Scotland as their official qualifying representatives) USA are currently 18th 2 2026 World T20 champions 3 and 4 Asia-Pacific qualifying tournament winners and runners-up 5 and 6 Euro-Africa-Americas qualifying tournament winners and runners-up (7) If the USA don't meet the qualifying standard then a play off between the 3rd place teams in the 2 above categories decides the final qualifiers The qualifying tournament would be held under IOC eligibility rules not the ICC rules -

Because of Wimbeldon I thought Tennis was moving to the second week anyway? Not sure it will have quite as good attendance starting just a week after Wimbledon ends. (Assuming its finals are the 8th and 9th July). -
With only 6 spots, don't think there is space for Continental qualifiers and Host quota. I would have 2026 World Cup Winner. Three qualifiers (these can be semi-continental with some continents merged) with 1 spot each. Rest 2 to rankings. -
Finally some common sense. IOC decides to put all 3 disciplines in programme for LA28. So now, we will see Speed, Lead and Boulder separate, with quota of 38 athletes per gender all together. -
GSOC Players Championships, ATP Monte Carlo Masters, FIVB Elite 16 Saquarema, and the remaining Canucks/Warriors games (as usual) No Speedo Canadian Open/Diving WC/WA Continental Tour Botswana due to scheduling conflicts.
