In August 2019, he was named in Bermuda's squad for the Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier tournament.[15] He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut against the United States on 18 August 2019.[16] In September 2019, he was named in Bermuda's squad for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament in the United Arab Emirates.[17] He was the leading wicket-taker for Bermuda in the tournament, with eight dismissals in six matches.[18] In November 2019, he was named in Bermuda's squad for the Cricket World Cup Challenge League B tournament in Oman.[19]
In October 2021, he was named as the captain of Bermuda's squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier tournament in Antigua.[20] In May 2022, he was named as the captain of Bermuda's side for the 2022 Uganda Cricket World Cup Challenge League B tournament.[21]
