Known to be a heavy scorer in international youth cricket, Ilyas has made scores of 199 not out against the Malaysia U-17 and 168 not out against the Hong Kong U-19 team. Oman qualified for the 2005 ICC Trophy, and Ilyas was selected in the squad, scoring a hundred in a warm-up win over Denmark in Belfast. However, in six games as an opener in the main tournament, Ilyas made 49 runs in six innings as opener, and only when he was relegated to batting at number three against Canada did he make 31.

Ilyas remains in the side, and played three games during the 2006 ACC Trophy, where Oman were knocked out at the group stage after a loss to Bahrain in the final game. In the Bahrain game, Oman were set 284 and Ilyas scored 18 as opener, out of a total of 264.

He made his Twenty20 International debut for Oman against Hong Kong on 21 November 2015.[1]
