A 24-member Indian shooting team, without Olympian and junior world champion Manu Bhaker, is set to take aim at the ISSF World Cup 2022 in Cairo, Egypt from Sunday.

Since the selection trials for this year could not be held due to COVID-19, the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) adopted a ranking system to select the Indian contingent for the season’s first pistol and rifle shooting World Cup.

Manu Bhaker, despite defending her 10m air pistol national title in December, couldn’t make the cut based on NRAI’s selection criteria.

Apart from Manu Bhaker, Tokyo Olympians Abhishek Verma, Anjum Moudgil, Elavaneil Valarivan, Tejaswini Sawant and Yashaswini Singh Deswal were also unable to meet the cut offs.

Young talents including Youth Olympic champion Saurabh Chaudhary, world championship bronze medallist Divyansh Singh Panwar and junior world champion Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar will lead the men’s team at the Cairo meet.

Meanwhile, Tokyo Olympian Rahi Sarnobat, Esha Singh and Rhythm Sangwan will lead the women’s charge at the upcoming competition.

The nine-day event will see pistol and rifle shooters take part in individual as well as team events.

The Cairo meet is also the first World Cup to be held under the new rules, which were first tested at the President’s Cup last November.

In the 10m air rifle and 10m air pistol individual events, the top eight shooters will advance to the semi-finals, instead of direct finals.

Meanwhile, in the 50m rifle 3 positions individual events, there will be two phases of qualification instead of one. The first phase will see 10 shooters advance, while the second phase will see the top eight make the final.
