Keeping in mind, the five-and-a-half-hour time difference between Birmingham and India, the opening ceremony begins on July 28 at 11.30 PM. However, it will miss the presence of Queen Elizabeth of England. The Queen has recently been forced to skip several events because of her mobility issues for which she often uses a walking aid. Prince Charles will be attending the event.

The opening ceremony will witness quite a few performances which include the likes of the new wave band – Duran Duran. Heavy metal band Black Sabbath’s guitarist Tony Iommi will be performing live as well.

Iommi and acclaimed saxophonist Soweto Kinch will lead a “dream sequence” piece, titled “Hear My Voice”, based on the lead track from the 2020 film “Trial Of The Chicago Seven” at the event. A choir of more than 700 individuals, drawn from 15 choirs from across the West Midlands, will also be involved in the event.

India, who is expected to be one of the major contenders for a rich haul of medals, has named a 33-member squad for the Commonwealth Games. Indian athletes will be taking part in multiple events across 15 sports. Neeraj Chopra’s injury puts him in doubt as the flag-bearer for the country. PV Sindhu was the flag-bearer for India in the previous edition in 2018.

India finished third behind Australia and England at the Commonwealth Games 2018, with a medal count of 66 – their third-highest ever. India’s tally included 26 golds, 20 silvers and 20 bronze. At the age of 15, shooter Anish Bhanwala became the youngest Indian gold medallist at the CWG. Among the big names, the likes of PV Sindhu, Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Saina Nehwal, Mary Kom, Vikas Krishan and Amit Panghal all returned with medals.
