Paris Olympians Raiza Dhillon and Anantjeet Singh Naruka are back in action as the national shooting federation announced India's team for the ISSF World Cup in Lonato, Italy. The event, the fourth World Cup stage of the year, is slated for July 4-14.

Raiza, fresh off a silver victory at the Junior World Cup in Suhl, aims to capitalize on her recent form at the upcoming competition. As she sets her sights on Italy, seasoned teammates like Mairaj Ahmad Khan and Maheshwari Chauhan have retained their spots following their performances in Nicosia.

Joining them is veteran Zoravar Singh Sandhu in men's trap along with former Asian Games silver medallist Lakshay Sheoran. Rising star Ganemat Sekhon will return to the international scene in women's skeet after missing Nicosia. The squad is a blend of experience and new talent, with hopes pinned on winning further laurels.
