He played Chris Wakelin in the first round, but lost 0–4.[1] Having won the third event of the 2018 Q School, he won a two-year tour card for the 2018–19 and 2019–20 snooker seasons, defeating Simon Bedford 4–2.[1]

2018/19 Season

In the 2018 Paul Hunter Classic, Hirani qualified for the second round, defeating Jamie Rhys Clarke 4–3 in the first round, before losing to Craig Steadman in the second round 0–4. Hirani played in the first round of the 2018 UK Championship, but lost 6–2 to Neil Robertson.

In the summer of 2018, Hirani stated that he intended playing in as many tournaments as possible during his two-year tour card, but that he was seeking a waistcoat sponsor to enable him to do so [2]
