Pakistan is fielding a strong four member squad, including the 3 quota holders for the Tokyo Olympics. The shooters are Farrukh, Gulfam Joseph, Khalil Akhtar, and Ghulam Mustafa Bashir.
“Three of them have already won quota places for the Tokyo Olympics, so this is a good training opportunity for them,” said Executive Vice President of National Rifle Association of Pakistan (NRAP) Javaid Lodhi.
He also added that this would be the last event before the Olympics in which Pakistani shooters will participate.
A total of 294 athletes will be seen in action in the tournament with as many as 53 countries confirming their entries, including Korea, Singapore, USA, United Kingdom, Iran, Ukraine, France, Hungary, Italy, Thailand and Turkey.
