Advani, who clinched his 13th world title after defending his World 6-Red Snooker title on August 11 in Karachi, said: "I don't think these two (sport and politics) really need to be mixed. When we talk about sport, we talk about integrity, we talk about cutting across barriers, we talk about brotherhood, improving relations and I think that's the perfect example.
