Cueists set to fly to Doha on Saturday

The Qatar-bound four Pakistan cueists will fly to Doha on Saturday to acclimatise before the 32nd Asian Snooker Championship which is being held there from April 16 to 23.

The purpose of sending the quartet a week ahead of the event is to provide them ample time for practice, the Pakistan Billiards and Snooker Federation (PBSF) said on Tuesday.

The PBSF added that the hosts have requested to send Pakistan team a week before so that it can train together with Qatar players for the annual Asian spectacle.

The cueists have undergone a 12-day strenuous training in the camp at the Islamabad’s PSB Sports Complex from March 24. The camp ended on Tuesday. The Players are due to arrive here on Friday and fly to Doha the following day.

Squad: Mohammad Bilal, Sohail Shahzad, Mohammad Aif and Mohammad Sajjad.
