Jarvis was also picked for the Zimbabwe XI to play the Kenyans in the ICC Intercontinental Cup fixture. Jarvis made his debut in the 1st ODI at Harare. He took 3 wickets for just 36 runs. He eventually took 5 wickets on tour at an economy rate of 5.78.
Following his performances on his maiden tour, he was picked for the tour to Bangladesh in 2009. The tour was not particularly good for Jarvis taking just five wickets from four matches, at a cost of 161 runs. An economy rate of 6.00 was only better than part-timer Malcolm Waller's 7.50; his bowling average of 32.20.
Jarvis made his first-class debut in an ICC Intercontinental Cup fixture against Kenya played out at the Kwekwe Sports Club. Jarvis took 2 wickets on debut.
He played his debut Logan Cup match for Mashonaland Eagles, taking match figures of 6/60.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
