The 2015/16 season was Daniel’s breakout season, he took 3 wickets in the BBL semi-final and then picked up a 6 wicket haul in the Sheffield Shield final, he finished the season with 44 wickets. His form led him to being picked for Australia A in 2016 where he took 4/26 against India A and his strong form led him getting picked in the One Day squad where he made his ODI debut against Ireland in September 2016. In 2018 Daniel was picked as Gloucestershire’s overseas player for the County season.
