via The Federal News:

Micky Yule was injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) whilst 
serving with the British Army in Afghanistan in 2010 and required  
more than 40 operations, being left as a double amputee.

While the senior officials of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) 
sat down to discuss, short list and then select who would carry the 
Indian flag at the Opening Ceremony of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in 
Birmingham, the Scottish contingent left it to fellow athletes to 
select their flagbearers.  

The IOA chose PV Sindhu first and then when informed they could 
choose two, they added the name of the hockey captain, Manpreet  
Singh, who was part of the team that won the Olympic bronze in Tokyo.
