He took 2 wickets for 51 runs on debut.[2] He retained a dual-registration to play for Suffolk, appearing for the team once in the Minor Counties Trophy in 2017 when not required by Kent[3][4][5] and plays club cricket for Sandwich Town Cricket Club in the Kent Cricket League.[6] He played in Australia for Newcastle City Cricket Club in New South Wales during the 2014/15 English off-season.[7][8]
