Zoravar Singh Sandhu, recognized as Asia's top trap shooter and currently ranked sixth in the world, has been excluded from India's shotgun contingent for the upcoming Asian Games in Aichi, Japan, scheduled from September 19 to October 4. Despite clinching a bronze medal at the World Championships last year, Zoravar's recent performance in domestic trials was below expectations, which ultimately cost him a spot on the team. The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) has stated that it will adhere strictly to its selection policy established over a year ago, which has drawn criticism given Zoravar's strong international scores. He recently achieved the highest score among Indian shooters at the World Cup in Almaty, scoring 119, yet this was not enough to secure his place. The proposed men's trap team includes Kynan Chenai, Ahvar Rizvi, and Shapath Bharadwaj. Zoravar has called for a review of the decision, emphasizing his recent achievements as justification for reconsideration. However, NRAI officials maintain that the selection process must remain consistent to ensure fairness in the sport.
