He was called up to the senior squad again in July 2018 at the age of 16.

After coming on as a second-half substitute, Rowe scored his first senior international goal, the game-winner of the 3–2 victory.{{cite web |title=CFD Profile |url=http://www.caribbeanfootballdatabase.com/britishvirginislands/players/baileyrowe.html |publisher=Caribbean Football Database |access-date=16 August 2018}}{{cite web |title=BVI National Team in Great Spirits after Impressive 3-2 Victory vs Dutch ST.
