NEW DELHI,
SEPT. 22.
World champion Pankaj Advani will lead the Indian challenge at the IBSF World snooker championship to be held at Veldhovel, the Netherlands, from November 20 to December 4.
Advani gets a direct entry by virtue of being the defending champion, while Alok Kumar clinched a berth by virtue of being the Asian champion.
Each country was offered two berths, but courtesy the two automatic entries, India will field four players.
