Forde was signed by Dambulla Aura for the 2022 Lanka Premier League. On 19 December 2022, he scored his first fifty in his T20 career during 2022 LPL season in a do-or-die contest for Dambulla Aura who were in brink of elimination.[4] He produced an all-round performance both with the bat and ball against Galle Gladiators with a spell of 4/11 in 4 overs coupled with a 30 ball 52 which helped Dambulla Aura to win comfortably against Galle Gladiators.[5] Despite his valiant efforts, Dambulla missed out on playoff qualification after failing to chase 130 runs within 11 overs.

On 9 December 2023, Forde made his one-day international debut for West Indies against England at Bridgetown, Barbados.[6] He picked up 3 wickets for 29 runs off his 8 overs, scored 13 not out in a match-winning partnership with Romario Shepherd, and won the Player Of The Match award.[7][8] against Ireland he scored a fifty off 16 balls equalling the record set by AB De Villiers of South Africa he went on to score 58 off 19 balls.[9]
