Bangladesh national team coach Martin Frederick said on Tuesday that he still keeps faith in Ruman Shana because he showed his worth there scoring the highest 679 in the 3-day ranking tournament held at the archery camp in Tongi last month.
The country’s premier archer Shana was also included in the 11-member team comprising 8 archers and 3 officials despite showing dismissal performances in the previous two national competitions Bangabandhu Bangladesh Games and Bangabandhu 12th Teer National Archery Championships.
Bangladeshi archers are going to take part in Archery World Championship stage two after a 17-month break, scheduled to be held on May 17-23 at Lausanne in Switzerland.
