India's team will head to the English city four years after winning 66 medals at Gold Coast 2018 and finishing third on the medals table.

IOA chief and International Hockey Federation President Narinder Batra also announced India's general managers for Birmingham 2022.

They are Rajesh Bhandari, vice-president of the Boxing Federation of India, Chiranjib Choudhary, vice-president of the Table Tennis Federation of India, and Prasant Kushwaha, secretary general of the Kayaking and Canoeing Association of India.

One of the biggest questions concerning India's participation at Birmingham 2022 has been whether or not the national hockey teams will travel.

Commonwealth Games Federation President Dame Louise Martin told insidethegames last month that the organisation had been assured that India's hockey sides would be in Birmingham, reversing a previous declaration from Batra that they would not compete.

India had also been due to stage standalone Commonwealth Archery and Shooting Championships this year - an event created after India threatened to boycott Birmingham 2022 altogether in response to the sports not being on the Birmingham 2022 programme.

COVID-19 concerns led to the tournament in Chandigarh being cancelled altogether, however, so an aggregate medals table planned to be published one week after Birmingham 2022 will not come to fruition.

India's best Commonwealth Games display to date came at the home Games of Delhi 2010, with the country finishing second on the medals table via 38 golds, 27 silvers and 36 bronzes.
