He made his Twenty20 debut on 7 September 2020, for Kabul Eagles in the 2020 Shpageeza Cricket League.[2] Prior to his Twenty20 debut, he was named in Afghanistan's squad for the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[3][4] He made his List A debut on 17 October 2021, for Band-e-Amir Region in the 2021 Ghazi Amanullah Khan Regional One Day Tournament.[5]

In July 2021, Sediqullah was named in Afghanistan's One Day International (ODI) squad for their series against Pakistan,[6] but the series was later postponed following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.[7] On 23 January 2023, the series was rescheduled and both cricket boards agreed to play three Twenty20 International (T20Is) matches instead of ODIs.[8] Sediqullah was again named in Afghanistan's squad for that series against Pakistan.[9] He made his T20I debut in the 3rd and final T20I match of the series, on 27 March 2023.[10]

In May 2024, he was named as a reserve player in Afghanistan’s squad for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup tournament.[11]

In October 2024 Sediqullah Atal played for Afghanistan A team in the ACC emerging team asia cup where he became the player of the tournament by scoring 368 runs in 5 matches. He scored 83,95, 52,83, 55, at an amazing batting average of 122.66 and strike rate of 145. This amazing performance put him at the leading run-scorers on the board and led Afghanistan A to a maiden ACC asia cup trophy win.
