Noah Nirmal Tom did not run the men’s 4x400m relay at the recent World Championships and there was no official explanation for that but the quartermiler finds a place in the Indian athletics team for the Birmingham Commonwealth Games which begin on Thursday.
The men’s relay quartet fared miserably at the Worlds, clocking 3:07.29s and finishing 12 th out of 13 teams with anchor Rajesh Ramesh running a very slow 48.30s.
The Athletics Federation of India has now replaced Ramesh with national record holder Muhammed Anas who was not in the original team announced last month. The new CWG team was announced on Wednesday evening.
