In December 2019, he was drafted by the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise team Peshawar Zalmi as their Supplementary category Player during the 2020 PSL draft.[13] On 10 March 2020, he became the youngest cricketer to score a fifty in the PSL.[14]
In August 2021, he was named in the Jamaica Tallawahs' squad for the 2021 Caribbean Premier League.[15] In December 2021, in the seventh round of the 2021–22 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, he scored his maiden double century in first-class cricket with 206 runs.[16]
