I think when it comes to England though the focus is often on the region, so the reference is more to Birmingham than England as a whole. Of course they were supposed to be South Africa's games.
I know everytime they come around people question how much longer the Commonwealth Games can go on (they're back in Australia next time around as nobody else wanted them) and then when they happen though they may not capture the imagination in the way the Olympics do they do enough to justify their own existence. However this time around it just feels like they're sneaking up out of nowhere and I'm not even sure there is much awareness outside of Birmingham itself they are taking place in England. I'm guessing the BBC promotional campaign though will likely begin at some point in the next couple of weeks - either during the opening Euro 2022 match or as part of finals weekend at Wimbledon.
