Indian cueist Amee Kamani added another remarkable milestone to her distinguished career by winning the bronze medal at the WPA World Heyball Championship in Brisbane, Australia. The achievement marks one of India’s finest performances on the global heyball stage and further strengthens Kamani’s reputation as one of the country’s most versatile cue sports athletes.
Kamani showcased exceptional resilience throughout the tournament, navigating the competition with composure and determination. After advancing through the challenging losers’ bracket, she produced one of the standout performances of the championship by defeating Britain’s Rebecca Kenna 6–1 in the quarter-finals to secure a place in the last four. Her impressive run eventually came to an end against world No. 1 Shi Tianqi of China in the semi-finals, earning her a well-deserved bronze medal.

Her success highlights not only her adaptability across multiple cue sport disciplines but also the growing presence of Indian players on the global heyball circuit.
Already recognised for her achievements in snooker and English billiards, Amee Kamani continues to inspire the next generation of cue sports enthusiasts through her consistency, dedication, and pursuit of excellence. This historic bronze medal serves as another proud chapter in her journey and reinforces her standing among India’s leading cue sports champions.
