He made his List A debut for Central Districts in the 2018–19 Ford Trophy on 4 November 2018.[2] Prior to his List A debut, he was named in South Africa's squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[3] He made his first-class debut for Central Districts in the 2018–19 Plunket Shield season on 6 December 2018.[4] He made his Twenty20 debut for Central Districts in the 2018–19 Super Smash on 31 December 2018.[5]
