Despite threats of legal action, five top players have decided not to play in Belfast

Mark Selby, John Higgins and world champion Luca Brecel are leading a player mutiny after handing an embarrassing snub to snooker bosses.

Despite threats of legal action from World Snooker Tour, the five decided not to play in Belfast and opted instead for a lucrative exhibition event in Macau, China.WST bosses sent emails and then strongly-worded letters claiming that, if the players took part in Macau, they would be breaching contracts, harming the game, and facing disciplinary action.

And world No.1 Ronnie O’Sullivan, himself playing in a Shanghai exhibition this month, has backed the ‘Macau Five’ – describing WST’s stance as “b******s, trying to scare players like that.”Selby, who has suffered badly with mental-health issues in recent years, is understood to have requested he receive no further correspondence on the matter.
