In a surprising turn of events, Bangladesh has approved its shooting team to participate in the Asian Shooting Championships in New Delhi, despite having recently withdrawn its cricket team from the T20 World Cup in India due to security concerns. According to Al Jazeera, the decision to allow the shooting team comes just days after Bangladesh was replaced by Scotland in the T20 World Cup, scheduled from February 7 to March 8, due to their refusal to play in India. The Bangladesh Ministry of Youth and Sports has sanctioned a three-member shooting team, including shooter Robiul Islam and coach Sharmin Akhter, to travel to India, as reported by el-balad. This decision has raised questions, with Geo Sport highlighting the contrast between the indoor nature of shooting events and the outdoor cricket matches, which may have influenced the decision.
