World champ not pleased with wait to defend title


Rafiq: ‘While I’m happy that I get to keep my world title for a little longer, but it also frustrates me to know that I will have to wait for another two years to defend my title.’

PETALING JAYA: National bowler Rafiq Ismail is taking the postponement of the World Championships with mixed feelings.

The world meet in Kuwait in October next year has been shelved to October 2022 following a calendar reshuffle done by the World Bowling due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
