National rifle shooter and two-time Commonwealth silver medalist Abdullah Hel Baki received a wild-card entry in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, scheduled to be held from July 23 to August 8.

“We got the confirmation today. International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) sent a letter through Olympics Association this afternoon,” national rifle coach Golam Shafiuddin Khan Shiplu told The Daily Sun on Friday.

ISSF selected Baki among four contestants in the race of Olympics entry on the basis of his performances in the last four years.
