Jawad Ali was the starting first baseman for the Pakistani national team in the 2015 Asian Championship. He was 3 for 19 at the plate and handled 32 putouts and two assists with no errors. He was named the tournament's Outstanding Defensive Player, the first Pakistani to win that award in an Asian Championship. Splitting first with Arshad Khan in the 2017 World Baseball Classic Qualifiers, he was 0 for 5 with three strikeouts.

Starting at 1B in the 2017 Asian Championship, he hit .273/.273/.273 and had again 32 error-free chances. He drove in Arsalan Jamashaid in the first against Hong Kong's Wing-Tung Mok but it was Pakistan's lone run in a game that kept them from a shot at the final four.
