Rohit Yadav & Tajinderpal Singh Toor, both qualified athletes for this meet, will miss out due to long-term injuries of the elbow & groin respectively. High jumper Tejaswin Shankar, women's 20 km race walk athlete Priyanka Goswami & women's 800m athlete KM Chanda qualified for this meet but have opted out due to their desire to focus on the 2023 Asian Games.
Race walker Ram Baboo, meanwhile, became the first Indian athlete to qualify for the World Athletics Championships 2023 via the world ranking route earlier this year. Jyothi Yarraji, Abdulla Aboobacker and Abhishek Kumar Pal achieved berths after qualifying at their area championships in Asia. Abhishek Kumar Pal, however, did not attend the event.
This year, a remarkable total of 28 Indian athletes, including a men's relay team, have qualified for the prestigious championships, marking the highest-ever representation of Indian athletes at the event.
