Blackpool's Daryl Peach is hoping his combination with Imran Majid will help England pocket the World Cup of Pool.
Peach - who lost out in the Last 16 with partner Steve Davis in last year's event - is playing with London's Majid in Rotterdam, Holland.
Peach and Majid open their World Cup bid on Thursday 27 September against Poland's Radoslaw Babica and Mateusz Sniegocki.
They follow Hungary v Switzerland then Qatar v Finland which kicks off at 1500 CET.
Current holders Philippines survived an opening round scare with Scotland duo Pat Holtz and Michael Valentine. Efren Reyes and Francisco Bustamante lead the Scots 6-1 but they fought back before losing out 8-6.
The event - now in its second year - is promoted by Matchroom between 25-30 September.
