India's 21-time world champion cueist Pankaj Advani is gearing up to defend his IBSF World Billiards title next month and is keen to do it in style.

Advani, 34, will be in action in the 150-up IBSF World Billiards Championships and World 6-Red & Team Snooker Championships in Mandalay, Myanmar next month. He will then leave for Melbourne to participate in the longer version of the World Billiards Championship (October 6 to 12).
