In a blow to India's medal chances at the Commonwealth Games, host city Glasgow has dropped major sports like cricket, hockey, badminton, wrestling and shooting from the 2026 edition. Glasgow has selected and shortlisted budget-friendly sports for the Games to be held in 2026. Table tennis, squash and triathlon have also been dropped to limit the budget and streamline logistics. Only four venues in Glasgow will host the entire Games. The total number of events at the Games will be nine fewer than the 2022 Birmingham edition.
