The Bangladesh government has granted permission for shooter Robiul Islam and coach Sharmin Akter to participate in the Asian Shooting Championship in New Delhi, India, from February 2 to 14, 2026. The approval was issued on Wednesday through a government order, according to National Sports Council Director (Sports) Mohammad Aminul Ehsan. The decision comes even as the government withheld permission for the national cricket team to travel to India for the T20 World Cup due to security concerns.
Officials said the shooting event will take place in an indoor and secured environment, minimizing potential security risks. Robiul is scheduled to compete in the 10-meter air rifle event on February 6, marking his first international appearance since the 2024 Paris Olympics. He has been training intensively in the South Asian Games camp ahead of the tournament.
Unlike previous years when Bangladesh sent larger shooting contingents, only Robiul and his coach will travel this time, which the report described as a clear failure of the Bangladesh Shooting Sports Federation. They are expected to depart for India on January 31.
