A promising junior cricketer, Arnel plays club cricket in Hamilton with Fraser Tech. He made his first class debut for Northern Districts in 2006, playing against Canterbury. After a strong performance in the 2007–08 season in which he took the most wickets in the State Championship, he was selected for the New Zealand A tour to India. In 2009, after success against the England Lions he was called into the New Zealand Test squad but did not end up playing. During the Bangladesh tour of New Zealand in 2009–10 he was again called up to cover an injured player, but was not selected to play. He finally made his Test debut against Australia at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on 19 March 2010.
