New Delhi, April 10 India's 3x3 women's wheelchair basketball team has qualified for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

The Games will take place from July 23 to August 2, with the 3x3 wheelchair basketball competition taking place from July 24 to 29.

India qualified alongside Australia through the Asia-Oceania qualifiers. They were the only two participating teams and secured qualification, representing Asia and Oceania respectively.

Australia topped the men's standings with an unbeaten record, securing the Oceania qualification spot, while Malaysia claimed the Asia position with a strong second-place finish.

So far, the confirmed qualified women's teams include the host nation, Scotland, Nigeria from Africa, India from Asia, Australia from Oceania, Canada from the Americas, and England from Europe.
