The seasoned Tarundeep Rai made a comeback to the Indian recurve men’s squad for the Asian archery championships, a continental Olympic qualifying event, to be held in Bangkok from November 3 to 10.
At the end of the six-day selection trials held at Sonepat on Thursday, Tarundeep replaced another experienced archer Atanu Das, who was part of the men’s team that won a bronze in the recently concluded Asian Games. Atanu finished outside the top-eight.
Tisha Punia was the lone induction in the recurve women’s squad. Deepika Kumari, who was sixth, could not make it the team.
