Jalat Khan grew up in Layyah, bowling leftarm pace on local grounds before being picked up by the Lahore Qalandars Player Development Program. There he refined his speed, control and fitness, which opened the door for a professional contract with Southern Rocks in Zimbabwe. In late 2023 he made his first-class debut and quickly grabbed attention with a spell of four wickets in four balls and figures of 5 for 14 in the Logan Cup.

He followed that with a match haul of 9 wickets against Mid West Rhinos, proving he could win red-ball games almost on his own. In T20s for Rocks he kept the momentum, finishing as the leading wicket-taker in the 2023–24 Zimbabwe Domestic T20. He has not played international cricket yet, but his domestic record in Zimbabwe marks him as a promising left-arm fast bowler with a reputation for decisive spells
