Meanwhile, Mohamed Tarbash is unable to compete due to injury suffered during his participation at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, an event where Jordan won gold medals through Khattab, Qaradah and Al-Shibli.
Jordan won silver and bronze medals at the last World Championships in Kazakhstan through Qaradeh and Khattab in the last edition.
