The celebrations were followed with rose showers and drummers. But there was no government official plresent as the government was busy probably in political bickering. Asif had defeated Jefrey Roda of Philippines in the final for 8-5 to win his second IBSF World tile on Saturday. Despite the star cueist's heroics, no government official was present to welcome him on his return. The world champion voiced his disappointment over the lack of government support but assured that his confidence does not falter because of it. "We don’t get any appreciation or incentives from government despite bringing laurels for the county which is naturally disappointing, but this doesn’t dent our confidence as we always aim to keep Pakistan’s flag high," Asif told Geo.tv. The star cueist reveals that he did not allow his problematic back injury to meddle with his chances of winning the world title.
