Career

Debut season

Miah's first win as a professional was a 5–4 victory over Sydney Wilson in the first qualifying round of the 2013 Australian Goldfields Open, before losing 5–2 to Gerard Greene. He made his debut in a ranking event at the Indian Open courtesy of beating Jimmy Robertson 4–3 and beat Chen Zhe in another deciding frame in the first round.[4] Miah played local favourite Aditya Mehta in the second round and lost 4–1.[5] He lost in the first round of the UK Championship and Welsh Open 6–2 to Andrew Higginson and 4–3 to Xiao Guodong respectively. Miah also met Xiao in the first round of the China Open and was beaten again this time 5–2.[4]

2014/2015 season

Miah had a poor 2014/2015 season as he could only win one match all year and has lost his place on the tour as he will not be inside the top 64 in the world rankings.[6]
