Bhurtel made his international debut in last month, playing in the Tri-Nation series involving Malaysia and Netherlands. In the five matches series, Bhurtel made 4 T20I half-centuries, making him the first ever player to score consecutive three half-centuries from debut.
Bhurtel finishes as the highest run scorer with 278 runs in the series.
