"This is a very important year as there is Commonwealth Games and Asian Games this year. We are working very hard for Commonwealth Games and Asian Games this year and the preparation is also going on well," the Tokyo Olympics silver medalist told ANI.

The Queen's Baton for the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth arrived in the national capital on Monday. Common Wealth Games officials handed over the baton to Indian Olympic Association's officials at the airport.

The 16th official Queen's Baton Relay for the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games will be in India for four days between January 12 and 15, the organising committee of the showpiece event announced on Tuesday.
