India's shooting ace Manu Bhaker on Monday said that the nation should look to boycott the Commonwealth Games after shooting was excluded from the event. In fact, for the 2026 Victoria Games, wrestling and archery, apart from shooting do not find a spot on the Games' roster, which is baffling.

After enough water has flown under the bridge, Britain sports minister Nigel Adams has stated that they could agree to a compromise by organizing a separate championship for shooting coming 2022 Games. This took place after both India and Australia have threatened to boycott Birmingham Games.

Abhinav Bindra has stated that doing well in the Youth Games would be the first step for India towards making their ground solid after the IOA firms up its bid to host the 2032 Olympics. The Olympic medallist advised the CGF to work collectively to bring the sport back in the Commonwealth Games.
