In a major blow to India's medal hopes at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the organisers have dropped sports such as hockey, cricket, wrestling, badminton, squash and table tennis, among others, from the programme.
The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) confirmed on Tuesday (October 22) that the 23rd edition of the quadrennial event will take place in Scotland from July 23 to August 2, 2026, returning to the city after a 12 year gap - albeit as a stop-gap solution this time around.
