“There has been a lot of time spent in Hong Kong and Dubai.
“I’m happy travelling around the world, spending as little time in the UK as possible at the moment. Because I don’t really enjoy it as much there anymore.
“While I’m still reasonably young, I’m trying to make sure I have a good time off the table as well.
“I think it’s easier knowing that I don’t have the old 20-hour journey home. That helps me.

“I think I will be based in the Middle East now rather than in the UK. I don’t feel like you have to play in the UK anymore full-time. I really don’t.
“My mum misses me – I’m not sure about my dad! At least he gets to watch me on the TV. They will always be at the big events in the UK.
"It’s nice to go back and see them. While I’m playing well, I have to knuckle down and do what is best.
“Spending a lot of time in Asia before events is probably best for my snooker at the moment.

“It’s definitely beneficial to be away from the UK. Now I’m coming up with the UK Championship and the Masters, then probably not.
“But for the first half of the season, the events are probably nowhere as big as the rest of the world.
“Maybe it’s time for some of the players to get up and leave and give their all to snooker. There are a lot bigger events worldwide now.
“I enjoy my snooker while I’m in warm weather around the world rather than at home.”
