The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) announced the Indian team for the upcoming tournament. Heena Sidhu and Manu Bhaker feature prominently in the list. Heena Sidhu took the decision to drop out of competing in the 25m Air Pistol event and choosing instead only to focus on 10m has been selected for the latter. Additionally, the list features names like Navy shooter Anuradha who will be making her World Cup debut in Heena's stead competing in the 10m Air Pistol event.
