Spotted playing street cricket around age 12, he was put on his school team, opened, and made 129 in his first game before joining Tucber Park Cricket Club. The article gives no year, so 2007 is approximate.
At Warner Park he hit an unbeaten 71 or 72 off 31 balls (the report gives both) and took 3-31, winning man of the match as the Warriors won by 14 runs; he had 18 wickets in the season at that point.
Batting at seven with the innings in trouble, he hit 25 off 14 balls with three fours and two sixes as MI New York were bowled out chasing 183. The report's margin does not add up with the scores.
9 matches, 9 wickets (econ 8.03), 68 runs, best 3/16. MI New York finished fourth in the 2026 group stage (5 wins, 5 losses, 10 points) and lost the Eliminator to Washington Freedom on 15 July, who chased down 267 with eight balls to spare.
