DHAKA: Bangladesh will participate in a record 10 disciplines at the upcoming Commonwealth Games which will be held in Glasgow, Scotland, from 23 July to 3 August 2014.

The Bangladesh lineup will include two swimmers, who have already proved themselves as better than earlier events, the Swim Swam reports early Monday.

The two swimmers include Mahfizur Rahman (men’s 50 and 100 freestyle) and Mahfuza Khatun (women’s 50 and 100 breaststroke).

The 19-year old Rahman was Bangladesh’s lone swimming representative at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, and Khatun is the lone carryover from the 2010 Commonwealth Games swim team.

Both of them also swam at last year’s World Championships.

They, along with official Laila Noor Begum, will be part of a 69-member contingent for the quadrennial event, the report added.

Rahman was 39th in the 50 free at the Olympic Games in 24.64 and 61st in the same at the 2013 World Championships in 24.39.
