India Prepares 125-Member Team for 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will feature a reduced program of 10 sports, with India sending a 125-126 member contingent focused on athletics, boxing, weightlifting, judo, and para-sports. Traditional medal-heavy disciplines like wrestling, badminton, shooting, and hockey are excluded, impacting India's medal prospects. Star athletes such as Neeraj Chopra, Mirabai Chanu, and Lovlina Borgohain lead the team. The Games run from July 23 to August 2 across four venues, with India aiming to maintain its top-five finish streak despite the trimmed event list.
