Pakistani Snooker Champion hasn't been paid

A snooker champion who was promised a large cash reward, by the Sports Minister for Pakistan, to celebrate winning the Asian Games Championships, last year, says he's still waiting for the money. Hamza Akbar, says he was told he'd be sent the money but months after coming to the UK for training and taking part in competitions - he says he is still waiting for the money. And he says if he doesn't get the cash promised he wont be able to stay in the UK and improve his game.

There's been no comment from the authorities in Pakistan. Asian Network's Rahila Bano has been to meet the champion.
