India have entered a Commonwealth Games team sport for the first time, with a women's wheelchair 3x3 basketball team taking part in Glasgow on 25 July 2026.
Commonwealth Sport's official day-two report recorded the milestone as part of a programme that opened new competitive doors for nations across the Games. The report identified India's participation in women's wheelchair 3x3 basketball as the country's first team-sport entry at the Commonwealth Games.
The wheelchair 3x3 basketball competition formed part of the Glasgow schedule on the second day of the Games. The supplied official account does not give India's match result, opposition or player details, but records the national milestone created by the team's entry.
The same day also featured another first, with Tonga making its Commonwealth netball debut. Tonga's opening appearance came against defending champions Australia, according to the Commonwealth Sport report.
Together, the two developments widened the range of nations reaching new points in Commonwealth competition. India's entry was significant because it related to a team sport, while Tonga's milestone came in netball, one of the Games disciplines on the Glasgow programme.
The official report framed the day around those new competitive landmarks rather than detailed outcomes from each fixture. On the information supplied, the confirmed facts are the entries themselves, the date, the sports involved and Tonga's opponent in netball.
Glasgow's second day therefore included both India's first Commonwealth Games team-sport participation through women's wheelchair 3x3 basketball and Tonga's first appearance in Commonwealth netball against Australia. No further results, scores or individual performances were included in the provided record.
