Yes. These were first introduced at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur where nations participated in cricket (50 over game), hockey (men and women), netball (women) and rugby 7’s men). In Manchester in 2002 hockey, netball and rugby 7’s graced the programme again and at the 2006 Games in Melbourne basketball accompanied hockey, netball and rugby 7’s on the programme. In Delhi in 2010 hockey, netball and rugby 7’s will again feature. From the 2014 Games onwards hockey (men and women) netball (women) and rugby 7’s (men) will be obligatory sports on the CGF sports programme.
