The Archery Association of India (AAI) has pulled out its team from the upcoming Asia Cup world ranking tournament in Bangkok scheduled from March 8 to 15 owing to the coronavirus threat there.
This would have been India’s first international competition since their return from a five-month suspension in January which was lifted after the AAI’s election. AAI Assistant Secretary Gunjan Abrol in a letter to World Archery Secretary informed India’s decision to withdraw after reviewing the current alarming situation on account of coronavirus and taking into consideration the travel advisories issued by Sports Authority of India and IOC.
