Malik was part of the Guyana squad in 2018 and 2019, captaining the side in both seasons. While Malik has captained the side every time he has played for them, he will be playing under the captaincy of exciting West Indian batsman, Nicholas Pooran, this season. South African spinner, Imran Tahir and West Indian middle-order batsman, Shimron Hetmyer are also a part of the Warriors squad.
