Parupalli Kashyap: Former India shuttler Parupalli Kashyap has expressed his surprise at badminton being excluded from the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and said that "it is a very strange decision" as badminton has been one of the most popular sports in the Games.

On Tuesday morning, the organisers confirmed that Glasgow 2026 will feature a 10-sport programme, in which badminton is one of the major sports being dropped.
