Career

Amateur

In 2011 Sharav won the Pontins "Star of the Future" event aged 19 beating fellow Scotsman Ross Muir 4–0 in the final in Prestatyn. A few months later as an amateur, Sharav reached the last 16 stage of his tournament debut in the Players Tour Championship, beating professionals, Liang Wenbo 4–0, Adam Duffy 4–1 and Gary Wilson 4–2, before a 4–0 defeat to Marcus Campbell.[2] He then entered Q School in 2014, with the aim to win a two-year professional tour card.[2] He was unsuccessful, losing in the final rounds of both events to Tian Pengfei and Michael Leslie.[2] He was though able to enter in all of the ranking tournaments as a top-up player for the 2014/2015 season due to his strong Q School performances. He qualified for the venue stages of the 2014 International Championship and 2015 Indian Open, losing in the first round of both.[3][4] He then entered Q School at the end of the season.[2]

Professional

In the first event of Q School, Sharav reached the final round and made breaks of 103 and 83 and against Adam Duffy and won 4–3, a win which gave Sharav to a two year card to the World Snooker Tour for the 2015/2016 season and 2016/2017 seasons.[5][2] He won a match as a professional at the first attempt by beating Andrew Milliard 5–3 in the 2015 Australian Goldfields Open qualifiers, before losing 5–1 to Mark Joyce.[6] Sharav could not qualify for any ranking event in the 2015/2016 season outside of the UK Championship and Welsh Open for which he gained automatic entry. At the UK he came back from 5–2 behind against Alan McManus to level at 5–5. Sharav got the snooker he needed in the decider, but McManus potted the blue to win in a match that finished at 1:30am.[7] At the Welsh Open he lost 4–2 to Jack Lisowski in the first round.[6]
