He was one of eleven cricketers to play in Afghanistan’s first Test match, against India, in June 2018. He returned the most expensive bowling figures by a debutant in a nation’s first Test match. In September 2019, he led the team in the one-off Test against Bangladesh and, at the age of 20 years and 350 days, became the youngest cricketer to captain a Test team.
In June 2017, he posted the best bowling figures for a partner nation in a One Day International (ODI) match. In February 2018, he became the youngest player to top the ICC Player Rankings for bowlers in ODIs.[6] Later the same month he also topped the ICC Player Rankings for Bowlers in T20I. In September 2018, he became the number one player in the overall ICC rankings, following his performance at the 2018 Asian Cup.
In March 2018, during the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier, he captained Afghanistan for the first time in an ODI match. At the age of 19 years and 165 days, he became the youngest player to captain an international team. In the Cricket World Cup Qualifying final, against the West Indies, Khan became the fastest and youngest bowler to take 100 wickets in ODI when he sacked Shai Hope.
It took him 44 matches to earn his 100th dismissal, breaking the previous record of 52 matches, set by Australia’s Mitchell Starc. In June 2018, he became the fastest bowler, in terms of time, to take 50 wickets in T20I. He reached the milestone in two years and 220 days, in the first T20I against Bangladesh. In October 2021, he also became the fastest bowler, in terms of matches, to take 100 wickets in T20I cricket, in his 53rd match.
In April 2019, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) appointed Khan as the team’s new T20I captain, replacing Asghar Afghan. Khan was also named vice-captain of the ODI team. In June 2019, during the 2019 Cricket World Cup, Khan played his 100th cricket cap for Afghanistan. After the World Cup, Khan was named captain of the Afghanistan cricket team in all formats. However, in December 2019, the ACB reappointed Asghar Afghan as the captain of the Afghanistan cricket team in all formats. In December 2020, Khan was named the ICC Men’s T20I Player of the Decade.
By becoming a successful professional cricketer from a nation with no previous cricket infrastructure, Khan paved a way for others to do the same, such as his compatriots Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Nepal’s Sandeep Lamichhane.
