Khan was named in the squad to allow him to serve out his two-match ban, so he would be available to play for the United States in the 2019 ICC World Cricket League Division Two tournament.[9] In April 2019, he was named in the United States cricket team's squad for the Division Two tournament in Namibia.[10]
