Mark Selby Advocates for UK Venue During Crucible Refurbishment

Mark Selby has expressed his preference for the World Snooker Championship to remain in the UK while the Crucible undergoes refurbishment in 2029, with a possibility extending into 2030.

This refurbishment is expected to impact the traditional venue for the championship, raising questions about alternative locations and their capacity to host such a significant event.

Selby acknowledges the role of Barry Hearn, President of Matchroom Sport, who is known for exploring various options regarding the future of the championship during this period.
