Earlier, there was news that the visas for the 2 players from Pakistan were approved by the Indian High Commission in Pakistan, however, NRAP has suggested that it isn't the case. Pakistan shooters - Muhammad Khalil Akhtar and Ghulam Mustafa Bashir – were supposed to fly to New Delhi on February 20 before the tournament kicks off on February 23. The National Rifle Association of Pakistan (NRAP) has now suggested that it wouldn't be able to send the players to India due to visa delay. The corresponding Indian body (NRAI), however, claims that the visas have been approved.

Bhatia, secretary general, the NRAI said, "We  got a confirmation from the Indian High Commission (Islamabad) that the visas have been granted to the said Pakistani shooters. The National Rifle Association of Pakistan (NRAP), through an email, have acknowledged this in afternoon that they have got confirmation of getting the visas from the Indian High Commission there,"
