NEW DELHI/LONDON: In a significant blow to India's medal prospects at the Commonwealth Games, the 2026 edition, set to be hosted by Glasgow, will exclude key sports such as hockey, badminton, wrestling, cricket, and shooting. The host city has unveiled a reduced roster of just 10 disciplines in a bid to keep the event budget-friendly and minimise "operational risks." This pared-down version of the Games marks a dramatic shift from the 2022 edition in Birmingham, where many of these sports formed the backbone of India's medal haul.
Table tennis, squash, and triathlon have also been dropped from the schedule, as the event aims to cut costs and simplify logistics. The upcoming edition will feature only four venues, resulting in a total of nine fewer events compared to the previous Commonwealth Games. The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), in its official statement, emphasised the need to strike a balance between maintaining the multi-sport nature of the event and managing financial constraints.
