The team was disqualified after a technical blunder by the athletes.

The technical violation has denied Ghana a place in the final and the team has been replaced with the Gambia.

The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) has disqualified Team Ghana for a technical violation after coaches failed to inform officials of their decision to replace Joseph Paul Amoah with Saminu in the heats to allow him to prepare for his 200m final.

A quartet of Benjamin Azamati, Sean Sarfo-Antwi, Abdul-Rasheed Saminu, and Barnabas Agerh finished third with a national record time of 39.05s in Heat 1 of the 4x100m relays.
