For Kamani, it has been a good season so far. In March, she had created history by becoming the first Indian woman cueist to clinch the Asian snooker title, defeating Thailand's Siripaporn Nuanthakhamjan 3-0 in the final held at the same venue in Myanmar.
The 26-year-old who hails from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, had also won the snooker nationals held in Bangalore and 6-red snooker nationals held in Chennai.
