Along with the other great moments he has had on the field, the most recent one would be reaching the milestone of 50 T20 International wickets. He achieved this feat during the all important Quarter Finals match vs Bangladesh in the 2023 Asian Games which were held in China.
Pavandeep has also represented Malaysia in various editions of Multi Sport events. He participated in the Sea Games ( South East Asian Games in 2017 & 2023) as well as the Asian Games in 2014 & 2023).

The 26 year old is currently in Melbourne, Australia playing for the Hallam Kalora Park Cricket Club in the DDCA league.
Pavandeep Singh, 26, when speaking to a representative from btimes.live said “The main goal of coming down to Melbourne is to explore myself to different conditions and at the same time compete against a different group of players. Club cricket is pretty big here and you get players from Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan playing in various leagues here. As an associate cricketer, it’s always good to play against or together with current or ex players from full member countries. I hope to do well and am certainly looking forward to the rest of the season here which will go on until March next year.
