Ending months of speculation, the Indian Olympic Association has withdrawn its 2022 Commonwealth Games withdrawal threat assuring the Indian contingent will compete in the quadrennial games in Birmingham. It all started when shooting was scrapped from the Birmingham Games, and IOA threatened to pull out in protest. IOA secretary general Rajiv Mehta also said they will bid for either the 2026 or 2030 CWG.
