He made his Twenty20 debut for Hampshire against Gloucestershire in the 2018 t20 Blast on 17 August 2018.[2] Prior to his T20 debut, he was named in England's squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[3]

In December 2019, he was awarded a Rookie contract for Hampshire during the 2020 season.[4] He made his first-class debut on 15 August 2020, for Hampshire in the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy.[5] He made his List A debut on 22 July 2021, for Hampshire in the 2021 Royal London One-Day Cup.[6]

He went on to make nine first-team appearances for Hampshire after making his debut in 2018, including two appearances in first-class cricket, and featured more prominently in their second-XI. He joined fellow county championship club Leicestershire in October 2021.[7] He signed a new two-year contract with the club in July 2023 following performances described as "impressive in both red and white-ball cricket for the first team during the past year" by Leicestershire director of cricket Claude Henderson.[8]

He took his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket for Leicestershire in the County Championship against Lancashire away at Old Trafford on 19 April 2025, as he finished with figures of 5-46 from 20 overs in Lancashire’s first innings.[9]

In January 2026, Scriven signed a new contract with Leicestershire tying him into the club until at least the end of the 2027 season.[10]
