Early career

Domestic career
[edit]In August 2022, he was named to Northern's squad for the 2022-23 National T20 Cup.[9] Before being selected by Northern, he played for the Mirpur Royals in the Kashmir Premier League, where he was the second top-scorer.[10] In PSL Season 8, he played for Islamabad United. In PSL Season 10, he has been picked by Quetta Gladiators.
International career
[edit]In March 2025, Nawaz received his maiden international call-up for Pakistan's tour of New Zealand.[11]On 16 March 2025, he made his T20I debut against New Zealand at Hagley Oval, in the first match of the tour resulting in a duck.[12] On 21 March 2025, he scored his maiden T20I hundred after being dismissed for 2 consecutive ducks. This was the fastest T20I international hundred for Pakistan.[13]
