India’s athletics body finalises a 32-member squad for the Commonwealth Games 2026, including Olympic and world champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra. Multiple outlets report that Chopra’s selection is “conditional,” meaning he is included subject to meeting the organisation’s selection requirements before the Games. Times of India adds that other athletes also face similar stipulations; it specifically mentions triple jumper Selva Prabhu as having an inclusion linked to selection criteria. The squad includes a combination of experienced athletes and emerging talent, and the announced contingent is intended to allow India to fill its full quota across multiple track and field disciplines. The overall announcement indicates that while the roster has been finalised, at least some athletes remain dependent on fulfilling defined benchmarks or procedures ahead of the event. The Commonwealth Games 2026 athletics programme is expected to take place after the selection process concludes, with the conditional entries subject to confirmation under the body’s rules.
