Nick and Phil welcome the brilliant Irene Sriharan to the podcast. Irene talks to us about her work promoting the sport in Sri Lanka, with her latest 'Cues and Brews' event in Colombo this weekend featuring one of the sport's greats, Mark Selby.

There's also an early look at news and results from the Wuhan Open as the 2025-26 season gets under way. Talking points so far have included a no show from Luca Brecel. There was also some confusion over broadcasting arrangements for the matches - Phil has a response from WST to that.

Keep your feedback and correspondence coming. Michael McMullan will join us next week - last chance to get your questions over, please tweet us @TalkingSnooker or email [email protected]
