Hockey India Withdraws from 2022 Commonwealth Games Due to Be Held in England over COVID-19 Restrictions
The step came days after the United Kingdom announced new travel rules which state that Indian travellers, even those who have received both doses of the Covishield vaccine, will be considered unvaccinated. Sources said that reciprocity will come into force from October 4, the same day UK's new travel rules come into effect.
Hockey India on Tuesday decided not to send its men and women teams for the Commonwealth Games set to go ahead in Birmingham next year. The decision has been taken citing the 10-day mandatory quarantine period for Indian citizens in the UK as a precautionary measure against the COVID-19 pandemic.
