New Delhi, Apr 10 (PTI) India’s 3×3 women’s wheelchair basketball team has qualified for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.
The Games will run from July 23 to August 2 with the 3×3 wheelchair basketball competition taking place from July 24 to 29.
India have qualified through the Asia Oceania qualifiers alongside Australia. They were the only two participating teams and secured qualification, representing Asia and Oceania respectively.
The men’s team, however, could not make the cut after finishing fourth in the same competition.
“The final two places in both the men’s and women’s competitions will be allocated through wildcard selections, based on factors such as regional representation, previous performance, and participation in development programmes,” stated the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF).
Australia topped the men’s standings with an unbeaten record, securing the Oceania qualification spot, while Malaysia claimed the Asia position with a strong second-place finish.
So far the confirmed qualified women’s teams include hosts Scotland, Nigeria from Africa, India from Asia, Australia from Oceania, Canada from the Americas, and England from Europe.
