On debut, he scored 55 off 35 against the LSG. He ended the season with 330 runs in 9 innings with a strike rate of 234, and smashing 32 fours and 28 sixes.[8] There was some speculation on if he would be picked for the 2024 T20 World Cup but he didn't make the squad.[9] However, he was added as a travelling reserve along with Matthew Short.[10]
