STEPHEN HENDRY admits he has been left in the dark over his BBC snub for the Welsh Open.
The snooker legend said “I don’t know why I don’t get the call” after being absent from punditry duties for the recent tournament.

The seven-time World Champion has been working as a commentator for the BBC since 2013.
But Hendry was not involved in this year’s Welsh Open, which was won by Mark Selby.
And he discussed his absence in the latest episode of the Snooker Club podcast with pal Mark Watson.
However, the pair made light of the situation as they joked about Hendry’s “demands.”
Hendy first said: “I don’t do the BBC’s Welsh Open, I don’t know why I don’t get the call.”
Watson laughed: “Your demands are enormous. You don’t just go to North Wales for anyone.”
Henry is now in China for the Weide Cup World Open in Shanghai.
The event was due to see Ronnie O’Sullivan play before he withdrew on medical grounds.

But prior to the tournament, Hendry had predicted that The Rocket would make an appearance after cancelling other competitions this year.
Hendry said: “Obviously he does like playing in China and obviously he’s loved it other there, and Hong Kong… I’d be shocked if he didn’t play. But I don’t know.

“I do not know what to think about what’s going on really. Obviously smashing the cue has had an effect, but when he’s working at your sporting events, I heard he’s still on the practice table, still playing.
“Part of me thinks, ‘Is he just going to play in the World Championship? Is that the goal now?’
“Is that the game for the season, the plan? I don’t know, but there’s no doubt if he’s not in an event, the event suffers a little.
“There’s no doubt about it. The event is slightly affected by him not being in it.”
