The 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England are just nine days away from starting. On July 18, 2022, the opening ceremony of the 22nd edition of the games introduced in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada will take place.
India has been a force to be reckoned with since the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games, and this time India has enough power to be among the top four medal contenders, even if shooting is not part of the sporting squad for hosts England , Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The Games schedule will begin on July 29, 2022, and on the same day, India will also begin its gaming journey. The main Indian contenders such as the men’s hockey team led by Manpreet Singh and the Indian women’s cricket team led by Harmanpreet Kaur will play on Day 1.
Squash stars Sourav Ghoshal and Josahana Chinappa and promising medalists such as the Indian table tennis team, boxer Shiva Thapa and the Indian badminton team will also be in action on Day 1.
