Asif had done this first in men's final and now Naseem Akhtar had done it in juniors. Efforts of Snooker Association has done it. Asif once in full form was asking the Govt for monetary help. But unfortunately delayed it and he lost his concentration. Let us hope Naseem improves his concentration as this the game of concentration.
