# Commonwealth table tennis body to launch rankings within three weeks 2026-08-06T18:17:08+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Commonwealth Table Tennis Federation will launch senior rankings within the next two to three weeks, chairman Vivek Kohli told The Hindu. The system will combine world, continental, regional and national rankings, he said, to include players with limited access to international events. The announcement follows the 22nd Commonwealth Table Tennis Championship in New Delhi, where 21 of 32 entered nations competed. The International Table Tennis Federation denied the event world ranking points and questioned the federation’s legal status. Kohli said the federation’s English company, struck off after delayed statutory filings, has completed the process to re-submit documents. He defended the event despite Nigeria’s absence and inexperienced teams from England and Singapore. ## Coverage - sportstar.thehindu.com - thehindu.com Tags: Commonwealth Games, India, ITTF, sports administration, table tennis Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/kohli-defends-commonwealth-table-tennis-event-after-ittf-dispute/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
