The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) has nominated Elavenil Valarivan and Shahu Tushar Mane to compete in the Sheikh Russell International air rifle championship to be organised by the Bangladesh Shooting Federation on Sunday.

Elavenil who won a World Cup gold and the World Cup Final gold last year was selected as she was available to compete, as she had opted out of the national camp, owing to college examination. The world No.1 was the best woman shooter available as the other leading shooters are in quarantine, getting ready for the national camp in the capital.
