A feisty quick bowler with an entire range of variations, he stole the spotlight at the 2024 T20 World Cup where his exploits saw Afghanistan reach the semi-finals of the 2024 T20 World Cup, a feat achieved for the first time in their history. 

He made his international debut back in 2016, and currently, is one of the most travelled players in the world of franchise cricket. At the 2025 season of the MLC, he was the complete package with the ball, bowling in the powerplay and the death with great success.
