intoronto 4,077 Posted March 2, 2022 #204 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Final field hockey teams confirmed: http://fih.ch/news/lineup-confirmed-for-birmingham-2022-commonwealth-games/ Women: Australia, Canada, England, Ghana, India, Kenya, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, Wales Men: Australia, Canada, England, Ghana, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Scotland, South Africa, Wales Malaysia declined quotas for both events, I suspect due to the Asian Games being close by. India on the other hand probably had the depth to send a B team here. 9 countries will be represented in both tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that India confirmed they’ll send their B teams to the Commonwealth Games. Asian Games are too close to send a A teams to both. intoronto 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted March 3, 2022 #210 Share Posted March 3, 2022 In a vacuum, I would argue the Commonwealth Games is more prestigious. It's definitely a stronger field vs. what Asia has to offer, but the Asian Games will be an Olympic qualifying event which makes it a priority for India/Malaysia/Pakistan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
