New Delhi, May 23 2014 : In a stunning turn of events, five-time World Champion and Olympic bronze-medallist MC Mary Kom was on Friday left out of the three-member Indian women's boxing squad for the Commonwealth Games to be held in Glasgow from July 23 to August 3 .

Mary Kom, who was on comeback trail after taking an almost two-year-long break due to the birth of her third child, lost to Pinki Jangra (51kg) in the finals of the three-day selection trials which concluded in Patiala on Friday.

The 24-year-old Jangra is an Asian Championships silver-medallist and had first burst into the scene by beating Mary Kom at the 2009 National Championships.

Women's boxing will be making its debut in three weight categories at the CWG two years after the breakthrough in the London Olympics.

The other boxers who were selected in the women's squad are former World Championship silver-medallist L Sarita Devi (60kg) and Pooja Rani (75kg). An eight-member men's team was also finalised today but there were hardly any surprises in the line-up with former Olympic and World Championships bronze-medallist Vijender Singh getting the nod for his third CWG.

Also making the men's squad were Olympians and Asian medallist L Devendro Singh (49kg), Shiva Thapa (52kg) and Sumit Sangwan (81kg). Rising name and former CWG gold-medallist Akhil Kumar's protege Mandeep Jangra was the pick for 69kg division.

In the heavier weight divisions, Olympian and former Asian Games silver-medallist Dinesh Kumar (91kg) and Praveen More (+91kg) would be representing India at the quadrennial mega-event.

At the 2010 edition, which was held in Delhi, Indian men had fetched seven medals, including three gold and four bronze.
