On 2 January 2006, Henriques made his List A debut for New South Wales against Victoria. He bowled 8 overs for 46 runs in a narrow New South Wales victory. His appearance, at only 18 years of age, made him the youngest ever List A debutant for New South Wales.{{Cite web|title=Getting To Know Moises Henriques|url=https://www.essexcricket.org.uk/2020/02/21/getting-to-know-moises-henriques/|access-date=2021-10-02|website=www.essexcricket.org.uk}} Six days later, Henriques made his Twenty20 debut, but did not bat or bowl in that match.
He made his first-class debut against South Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on 17 October 2006. Only a week after this match, Henriques took 5/17 against Queensland with fast bowling.

Playing style

Retrieved 12 December 2007 As a right-handed batsman, Henriques bats in the middle to lower order, and as a right-arm medium-fast bowler he generally opens the attack. His style has been compared to Australian Shane Watson, but Henriques looks to South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis as a source of inspiration.
