In May 2018, he was named in Afghanistan's squad for their inaugural Test match, played against India.[4][5] He made his Test debut against India, on 14 June 2018.[6] He top scored in the second innings of the match with an unbeaten 36, albeit in a losing cause. Afghanistan lost the one-sided Test within two days.[7] In February 2019, he was named in Afghanistan's Test squad for their one-off match against Ireland in India.[8][9]

On 11 March 2021 he became the first Afghan player to score a test double hundred when he scored 200 not out in Afghanistan's first innings total of 545 for 4 in the Test against Zimbabwe.[10]
