Snooker World Cup winner Muhammad Asif was given a grand welcome upon arriving in his hometown of Faisalabad. He was carried in a traditional cart from Jhang Road to his residence, where he was greeted with drumbeats and dancing, and people showered him with flowers and money. Upon reaching home, a spectacular fireworks display was also held.
In a conversation with the media, Muhammad Asif stated that he plays for his country, not for money. He mentioned that although he has no expectations from anyone, he sometimes feels disappointed that despite his achievements, he hasn’t received the support from the government that he deserves.
It’s worth noting that Muhammad Asif won his third World Championship title at the IBSF Snooker World Championship in Qatar, defeating the Irish cueist. With this victory, he also tied the record of Indian cueists for winning the World Championship three times.
