He also represented Nepal Under-19s in the 2013 ACC Under-19 Elite Cup in May 2013. He was the best bowler of the tournament taking total of 24 wickets which included an eight-wicket haul and a hat-trick against Bahrain Under-19.[4] Then he was selected in national team's squad for the 2013 ACC Emerging Teams Cup,[5] where he played against Afghanistan[6] and under-23 age level teams of the Test nations – India[7] and Pakistan.[8] He was a part of the team in the 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier as Nepal qualified for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20.[9]
He made List A debut in 2014 World Cup Qualifier in New Zealand in January 2014.[10] Karn was selected in Nepal's squad for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh, their maiden appearance in the ICC global event, but was eventually replaced by Anil Mandal after he suffered an injury to his right knee and, therefore, was ruled out of the tournament.[11]
He made his Twenty20 International debut for Nepal against the Netherlands on 30 June 2015.[12]
