In October 2019, he was named in the Windward Islands' squad for the 2019–20 Regional Super50 tournament.[7] He was the leading run-scorer for the Windward Islands in the tournament, with 341 runs in seven matches.[8] In July 2020, he was named in the St Lucia Zouks squad for the 2020 Caribbean Premier League.[9][10]
