The New Delhi World Cup will see as many as 30 finals being held at an ISSF World Cup stage for the first time with the new team formats coming into play.
All selections were based on latest NRAI rankings, save Anish’s selection in Men’s 25M Rapid Fire Pistol squad, given his present high world ranking of 12, gives him a better chance of securing a Tokyo 2020 quota pending a good finish.
Arpit Goel, who is ranked 63 in the world currently and third in India, will feature in the MQS section.
