Star paddler Sharath Kamal and world champion boxer Nikhat Zareen have been named India's flagbearers for the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham on Monday.
The final decision was taken under notice while considering the fact that the wrestling and weightlifting teams have already left for India.
"It is with
great pleasure we announce Mr. Achanta Sharath Kamal and Ms. Nikhat Zareen as our flagbearers," Indian Olympic Association (IOA) Acting President Anil Khanna said in a statement.
The closing ceremony is scheduled to be held at the Alexander stadium at 12.30 IST. We can expect to see the display of Birmingham's heritage and culture as a closing act.
