India will field a 22-member squad at the ISSF Rifle/Pistol World Cup in Munich from May 24 to 31, with double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker set to compete in two individual pistol events besides the mixed team competition. The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) on Sunday announced a squad blending experienced campaigners with young shooters for what is regarded as one of the sport's premier annual events.

Alongside Manu, Olympian and world championship medallist Esha Singh will also feature in two individual pistol events as India's leading shooters return to top-level international competition away from home for the first time this season. The competition will begin from May 26 with the women's 25m pistol precision stage. The qualification round of men's 10m air pistol and the elimination round of women's 50m rifle 3 positions will also be held on the opening day, along with qualification for the men's 10m air rifle event. The first finals of the tournament -- men's 10m air pistol and men's 10m air rifle -- are also scheduled on the opening day.
