That's not what I said  

 

When looking for lakes, I assume there are definitely options available (or are there also lesser-known rivers close to population centers that are not extremely polluted?).

Sabarmati river in Ahmedabad, Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad, Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj are just some iconic places I can think at top of my head. If we include sea, options are limitless. And if we include tier-2/3 cities like Bhopal, Chandigarh, etc. and included rivers/lakes within 100km of tier-1/2 cities, there could be many more options.

This was announced last week, but England Athletics confirmed a quote of 58 last week, as well as announcing the selection policy - https://www.englandathletics.org/news/glasgow-2026-commonwealth-games-selection-policy-announcement/

 

Assuming they fill the quota, would be a slightly smaller team than previous years (72 in Birmingham, 69 for Gold Coast). But that's at least partially explained by the removal of the single sex 4x4s and marathons.

 

Scotland announced their team quota as well, which is 25 (down 2 from Birmingham but up 6 from Gold Coast, in terms of size) - https://www.scottishathletics.org.uk/team-size-25/
