With Canada having pulled out of the race, India’s chances of securing the 2030 CWG have allegedly brightened.

“The plan is to have all our medal-earning sports like shooting, archery, wrestling etc. Our traditional sports like kabaddi and kho kho should also be there,” IOA joint secretary Kalyan Chaubey said.

A team of officials from Commonwealth Sport, led by its Director of Games Darren Hall, recently visited Ahmedabad to inspect the venues and meet Gujarat government officials. A larger delegation from Commonwealth Sport is expected to visit the city later this month.

“The 2030 CWG will be a full-fledged Games. We will have all the sports we are good at and have a chance of winning maximum medals,” said Executive Council member Rohit Rajpal.

“There are three groups of sports. First is the core sports of the Commonwealth Games which are always there, then there are sports which the host nation can choose, and the third one is the additional sports. The 2030 will be an inclusive Games and will feature our traditional and indigenous sports also,” Rajpal added.

The General Assembly of Commonwealth Sport will decide the host country in the last week of November in Glasgow.

India has previously hosted the 2010 edition of the multi-sport event in Delhi.

The SGM was preceded by the Executive Council meeting in the morning.
