Hockey, Cricket, Wrestling, Badminton, Squash Axed From 2026 CWG In Glasgow
Commonwealth Games Federation CEO Katie: In a major blow to India's medal hopes in the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the organisers have dropped hockey, cricket, wrestling, badminton, squash, and table tennis, among others, from the sports programme for the coming edition.
In most of the sports which have been dropped from the Games, India finished on podium in the last edition in Birmingham in 2022.
India won 61 medals, including 22 gold in the last edition of the Games. 12 in wrestling, seven each in boxing and table tennis, six in badminton, two each in hockey and squash and one in cricket - more than half of the total medals.
