entered
Alongside the national Cup, most of the squad has entered the open Heineken International Tournament that runs the same week. That entry list is public — so for the first time we can say exactly which divisions India is in, who each player is partnering, and what the ratings look like.

The company they're keeping
The strongest entrants in the Pro tier by the rating the portal lists. Harsh Mehta is the highest-rated Indian in the field.
Entry list and DUPR ratings from the official tournament portal, read on 19 August 2026. These are entries in the open Heineken International Tournament, not the national-team World Cup draw — no entry list or order of play has been published for that. Partners and divisions can still change, and no bracket has been drawn. Pearline Roopkumar is not entered in the open event — the national Cup is a separate competition and entering this one is optional.
16 of these 20players have a full profile — the rest are squad members whose competitive record we cannot yet document beyond selection. India's 50+ and 60+ squads (13 players) still have no profile pages: the IPA has not published those rosters in a form we can verify name by name, and we will not build permanent player pages on names we cannot confirm. They do now appear in the entry list above, which independently confirms the names, ages and divisions — but an entry list is not a squad announcement. They are also on the squad page as announced. Records transcribed from official results and IPA announcements; verify before citing.
