Bangladesh has joined India and Australia in calling for shooting's inclusion in the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games roster.
Bangaldesh sports minister Md Zahid Ahsan Russel on Sunday wrote to UK Minister of State for the Commonwealth, the United Nations and South Asia, Tariq Ahmad, better known as The Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, and sought his "personal intervention" in the matter.
"You may be aware that football, cricket, archery and shooting are our potential games right now. In this context, I am writing to you with regard to shooting and its proposed exclusion from Commonwealth Games 2022, scheduled to be held in Birmingham," Russel wrote in his letter.
"It would be deeply appreciated if you kindly extend your personal intervention so that shooting may be included in the Commonwealth Games 2022."
