In October 2021, Carlyon was named in Jersey's T20I squad for the Regional Final of the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier tournament.[21]

In March 2023, he was named in Jersey's squad for the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off. He made his One Day International (ODI) debut on 27 March 2023, for Jersey against Canada in that tournament.[22]

On 7 July 2024, Carlyon became the first Jersey player to score a century in a T20I when he made 110 off 57 balls against Serbia during the 2024–25 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier at Bayer Uerdingen Cricket Ground, Krefeld, Germany.[23]

Carlyon top scored for Jersey with 73 off 100 balls including seven 4s as they defeated Guernsey in the Inter-Insular Trophy one-day match on 7 September 2024.[24] The performance earned him the player of the match award.[25] Later that month he was named in Jersey's 14-player squad for the 2024 Cricket World Cup Challenge League A in Kenya.[26] During the tournament Carlyon made two half-centuries, scoring 89 against Qatar[27][28] and 59 against Denmark.[29][30]
