Ahsan Ramzan wins World Snooker Champion

Pakistan’s 16-year-old Ahsan Ramzan made the country proud by winning the IBSF World Snooker Championship title. He defeated the more experienced and top-seeded Amir Sarkosh in a nerve-testing final played in Doha, becoming the country’s youngest to win this trophy.

Soon after his victory, Ahsan said that words are not enough to express his feelings. He hoped that his victory would help snooker in Pakistan get its due importance. “I want the government to support snooker; I want society to support snooker,” he added.
