Sagar made his debut in the 2013 ACC Twenty20 Cup match against Singapore – the only match he played in the event. Sagar remained in the national team system and impressed the team management enough to be picked for the 2013 ACC Emerging Teams Cup in August 2013 in Singapore.
Sagar marked a fine one-day debut with a prized scalp of Afghanistan skipper Mohammad Nabi in the Emerging Teams Cup,[4] a tournament where he scored an unbeaten 52 against the U-23 team of India.[5] Following his impressive performance in Singapore, Sagar cemented his place in the senior team and never looked back.

Sagar took 7 wickets during the 2014 Asian Games at an average of 5.57. He had an exceptional economy rate of just 3.90.[8] He scored 107 runs in the 2014 ICC World Cricket League Division Three, including a half-century against Uganda,[9] in three innings at an average of 53.50[10] and picked up 8 wickets.[11]
