The Commonwealth Games-bound Indian athletes and officials will be staying at five different "Villages" with women's cricket team being put up in a separate facility in the Birmingham city centre.

India is sending a 215-member athlete contingent across 16 disciplines for the Games beginning July 28. Usually, all athletes stay in the dedicated Games Village but the organisers of Birmingham 2022 have arranged five different accommodations for athletes.

In an official communication to concerned national sports federations, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has informed them about the staying arrangements and the need to undergo a RT-PCR test 72 hours prior to their arrival in the UK.
