Shetty won a scholarship to attend the ICC Academy in 2017.[2] In January 2021, aged 16, he was named in the UAE senior squad for an ODI series against Ireland.[3] He was expected to make his international debut during the series, which would have made him the youngest ODI player in UAE history, but two matches were cancelled following an outbreak of COVID-19.[2]
Shetty represented the United Arab Emirates national under-19 cricket team at the 2022 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies. He was named man of the match against Uganda after taking 4/29 and hitting the winning runs from tenth in the batting order.[4]
