Badminton has always been one of the most exciting and highly anticipated sports at the Commonwealth Games. Since its debut at the 1966 Commonwealth Games, badminton has been included in 14 consecutive editions.
England are the most successful nation with 109 medals in the sport. Malaysia and India are second and third with 64 and 25 medals, respectively.
At the upcoming Birmingham Commonwealth Games, badminton action will take place at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) Hall 5 in Solihull, West Midlands, England, from July 29 to August 8.
The competition will kick off with the mixed team events, which will be followed by the individual events.
Sixteen teams will be divided into four groups in the mixed team events, with each team facing the others in its group once. The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout rounds on completion of the round-robin stages.
Group A will have defending champions India, Australia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. Hosts England have been placed in Group B alongside Singapore, Mauritius and Barbados. Group C comprises Canada, Scotland, Maldives and Uganda, while Malaysia, South Africa, Jamaica, and Zambia make up Group D.
