Hyderabad, Nov 14 - The IBSF World Snooker Championship returns to India after 22 years as the 35th edition of the annual event commences here Sunday at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC) where 20 spanking new tables are laid out in one hall.

The 10-day cue sport extravaganza, that was last held in India at Bangalore in 1987, has fair representation from across the world, but the focus would be on the Indians among whom Pankaj Advani who had won the event in 2003, and billiards ace Geet Sethi, a finalist last year, are reckoned to be the best prospects to win titles in the Men's and Masters (Over 40) categories, respectively.
