Between 2011 and 2017 he played in the Indian Premier League for Pune Warriors, Kings XI Punjab, Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Lions, taking 28 wickets for Rajasthan in 2013, the third-most wickets in a single IPL season.

In 2021 he played for Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). He was drafted by Quetta Gladiators for the 2022 PSL. In February 2022 he quit the PSL mid-season, accusing the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) of not honoring contract terms. In response, the PCB denied all allegations and claimed that he was paid as per his contract. Faulkner threw his bat and his helmet into the chandelier of the PC hotel and threw his kit from the second floor of the hotel after being told he wasn't going to be paid the sum he was asking. Faulkner was subsequently banned from ever participating again in the PSL.

International career

Faulkner during Australia vs England in ICC Champions Trophy 2013

Faulkner made his international debut for Australia in a 2012 Twenty20 International against India. He toured England in 2013 and was selected for the fifth Ashes Test of the tour. Australian selector John Inverarity described Faulkner as the sort of player who "gets things done", while captain Michael Clarke said that Faulkner could provide some toughness that Australian might have lacked in previous matches on the tour.

Throughout 2013, Faulkner went on to establish himself as a regular member of Australia's limited-overs team. In the third One Day International against India in October, he scored 64 runs from 29 balls, including 30 runs off a single Ishant Sharma over, to help win the match for Australia. He scored his maiden One Day International century in November, at the time the second fastest ODI century by an Australian, reaching his hundred from 57 balls.

In the second ODI against England in 2013–14, Faulkner guided Australia to an unlikely victory. Australia was 9/244 and still requiring 57 runs in the last 6 overs, but Faulkner scored 55 of those runs to give Australia victory with three balls to spare. The innings drew comparisons with a famous match-winning innings by Michel Bevan in 1996.

In the 2015 Cricket World Cup Final, Faulkner took three wickets for 36 runs (3/36) and was awarded the Player of the Match as Australia won the competition.

In 2016, during the second ODI against Sri Lanka, Faulkner took a hat-trick, becoming the sixth Australian to do so.
