Prior to his List A debut, he was named as the captain of Nepal's under-19 squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[3] Initially there were some concerns about his eligibility, with reports stating he was over 19 years of age. However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) were satisfied that his date of birth was correct.[4]
He made his first-class debut on 6 November 2019, for Nepal against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), during the MCC's tour of Nepal.[5][6]
