According to reports, on the fifth day of the IBSF World Snooker Championship being held in Doha, Qatar, the journey of all Pakistani players came to an end.
Three-time world champion Mohammad Asif, who was striving to defend his title, was defeated in a hard-fought quarterfinal by Poland’s Michał Szupryczyński with a score of 3–4 frames. Earlier, Asif had defeated Iran’s experienced player Amir Sarkhosh in the pre-quarterfinals.
Pakistan’s Asjad Iqbal also faced disappointment in the quarterfinals, losing 1–4 frames to England’s Harvey Chandler. In the pre-quarterfinals, Asjad had beaten Hong Kong’s Chau Hon Man 4–1.
Pakistan’s U-17 world champion Mohammad Hasnain Akhtar and Shahid Iqbal had already been eliminated earlier in the tournament.
It is worth mentioning that India’s renowned player and former world champion Pankaj Advani was also knocked out in the first round.
It should be noted that the IBSF World Snooker Championship (also known as the World Amateur Snooker Championship) is the premier non-professional snooker tournament in the world.
