In June 2022, he was named in Greece's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for the Qualifier A tournament in Finland that formed part of the 2022–23 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier. He made his T20I debut on 12 July 2022, for Greece against Italy. Later the same month, he was named in Sussex's squad that played in the 2022 County Championship match against Middlesex in England. In May 2023, Karvelas signed a two-year contract extension with the club.

Karvelas moved onto the coaching staff at Sussex when his playing contract expired at the end of the 2025 season, before rejoining the squad on a short-term deal for the final six matches of the county season in August 2026.
