In World Cup Qualifier, Javed hit a blistering 164 from 117 balls, laced with 17 fours and eight sixes at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom as the UAE completed a 112-run win over Denmark.
In 2010, in a List-A match against Bermuda, Javed hit blitzed 89 off 59 balls which included seven fours and five sixes as UAE extended their domination over Bermuda with a thumping 134-run win at the National Stadium.

In the 2015 ICC World Cup Qualifier, Javed blasted a 31-ball 63 to lift the team to 246 for 8 as United Arab Emirates held their nerve to secure a narrow 13-run win against Kenya at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, putting an end to Kenya's hopes of extending their streak of five consecutive World Cup appearances.
