Malachi made his ODI debut in 2006 against Kenya and won the best young player award in 2006 during the end of Bermuda's domestic competition. He was included in Bermuda squad for the 2007 Cricket World Cup at the age of 17 which also made his maiden appearance in a World Cup tournament. [3] He played in his first world cup match against India and took a wicket very first ball of his spell. However, he ended up the match with expensive bowling figures of 1/74 after sending down seven overs. [4] It also eventually turned out to be his only World Cup match.

Bermuda was hosting the WCL Americas Region Division One tournament and would complete the competition with 13 players.

David Moore, Bermuda's coach, said: "I am extremely disappointed and surprised that one player would not only let the team down but Bermuda as well. The purpose of the rest day is recover and regenerate from injuries to be able to continue in the tournament at optimum level. I would like to personally thank all clubs for supporting the national team and following Board directive. International cricket is very important for the future of Bermuda cricket and we can not improve without the partnership and co-operation of all involved."

The Bermuda Cricket Board president Reginald Pearman added: "On behalf of the Board we are extremely disappointed to note this development and we agree and support the coach and team management's decision that the appropriate action has been taken."
