Suri was born in India and later became eligible to represent the United Arab Emirates through residency in the country, a route through which several members of the UAE national side have qualified. He grew up playing club and age-group cricket in the UAE's domestic system, which is administered by the Emirates Cricket Board.
Suri progressed through UAE domestic cricket before being selected for the national side. He has featured in International Cricket Council (ICC) qualifying tournaments and bilateral fixtures involving Associate nations, often appearing in the top order as an opening or first-drop batsman.
His appearances for the UAE have included matches at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Qualifier and regional events such as the Asia Cup Qualifier, where the UAE has competed alongside other Associate sides from the Asian region. He has also taken part in Twenty20 International matches against fellow Associate teams as well as Full Member opposition during qualification cycles.
As a long-serving top-order batsman, Suri has been part of the UAE's effort to remain competitive in Associate cricket during a period in which the team has aimed to qualify for ICC global events. His career also reflects the broader role of the Indian diaspora in shaping cricket in the Gulf region, where a significant proportion of competitive players are of South Asian origin.
