Richardson ruled out of Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games through injury

Olympic sprint silver medalist Matt Richardson, 27, is out of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games after crashing at a World Series keirin event in Japan. The withdrawal denies him a long-awaited England debut — he switched allegiance from Australia after Paris 2024. Harry Radford replaces him in the team sprint, keirin and individual sprint. No return timetable has been given.
