The world's fastest man Usain Bolt will not compete at the Commonwealth Games in India despite his name appearing in the preliminary entry list, Times of India reported on Thursday.

"I can 100 percent confirm that Usain will not be running at the Commonwealth Games," manager Ricky Simms was quoted as saying by Times of India.

"Maybe this list was sent in some time ago," Simms added. "The Commenwealth Games is not on Usain's schedule for this year."

Bolt is currently recovering from an Achilles tendon injury which forced him to miss the Diamond League event in New York last month.

The Jamaican won the 100m and 200m gold medals in world record times at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and repeated the feat at the 2009 world championships in Berlin.

The Commonwealth Games, which feature 71 nations and territories of the former British empire, are India's biggest sporting event since the Asian Games in 1982.
