LONDON: The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) has confirmed that the 2026 Commonwealth Games will be hosted by the state of Victoria in Australia. 

In a big jolt to India, wrestling, shooting and archery have been dropped from the initial sports programme list, though Twenty20 cricket is on it.

But the door is not "fully shut", with CGF declaring: "There will be a phased approach in creating the sports programme for Victoria 2026. An initial 16 sports have been put forward for the Games, with further sports to be added later this year."
