Karachi: Pakistan cueists Awais Munir and Asjad Iqbal are set to participate in upcoming Mongolia World Cup (15-Red) Snooker Championship 2024.

Awais Munir and Asjad Iqbal departed from Karachi to participate in the Mongolia World Cup as well as the World 6-Red Snooker Championship. Notably, both events are scheduled to take place in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from September 15-22. Munir’s coach, Shoaib Arif, banked on the cueist’s remarkable track record and added that he is well-prepared for the tournaments. “As a coach, I can say Awais Munir is well prepared for the tournaments and by the will of Almighty Allah, he will succeed and bring joy to the nation, said Arif. It’s worth noting that Awais Munir is the only Pakistani cueist to make it to the finals in his first two international tournaments, winning one of them.

Thus, he has one gold and two silver medals to his name. He won the Asian 6-Red Snooker Championship after beating Hong Kong’s Nansen Wan in the final back in July. Munir secured a 6-3 victory with the scores of 0-65, 35-26, 27-36, 38-20, 0-65, 13-46, 8-60, 34-0, 27-40.
