The Commonwealth shooting and archery championships, scheduled to be held in India ahead of the 2022 Birmingham Games, have been cancelled due to "uncertainty" posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

Archery has been part of the Commonwealth Games only twice in the past -- 1982 edition in Brisbane and 2010 Delhi Games.

The medals won in both these events will be counted in the tally of the 2022 Commonwealth Games edition.

The submission of the proposal must be done by early January to the Sports Committee of the CGF.

The Commonwealth Games Federation CEO said conducting Commonwealth Shooting Championships is amongst one of several ideas being discussed but there was no formal proposal made to the ISSF.

CGF chief Louise Martin and CEO David Gevemberg will meet IOA chief Narinder Batra and Secretary General Rajeev Mehta on Friday.
