WPBSA Chairman Jason Ferguson said: “I am delighted that Steve and Ken have both kept their places on the board. They are two of the sport’s most experienced players and they bring a vast amount of experience and knowledge to the table, as well as the perspective gained by being current professional players. 

“Snooker has made huge strides forward as a global sport over the past three years and we continue to support the work being done by World Snooker in creating a  bright future for our members.”
