The pair will be joined by six other boxers as the eight-strong line-up was decided following the selection event at the Netaji Subhas National Institute of Sports in Patiala.

Panghal made his Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020 and also won silver at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games where he was appearing for the first time.

The 2019 World Championships silver winner Amit Panghal defeated Deepak Kumar 4-1 in the trials to represent India in the flyweight division in Birmingham.

Meanwhile, Thapa, the former Asian champion and 2015 world bronze medallist, ousted Gold Coast 2018 silver winner Manish Kaushik to take his country's men's under-63.5-kilograms slot in Birmingham.

It is set to be Thapa's second Commonwealth Games appearance after losing in the round of 16 at Glasgow 2014 while he did not compete in 2018.

Hussamuddin claimed a 4-1 win against the 2019 Asian Championships silver medallist Kavinder Singh Bisht to make the cut.

Sagar, meanwhile, beat the reigning national champion Narender 5-0 in the over-92kg final.

India was the second-best boxing nation at Gold Coast 2018 after securing three gold, three silver, and three bronze medals at the event.

The trials for the women's team are set to take place next week.
