In 2005, Lewis was included in the England squad for the two Tests against Bangladesh, but did not play in either match. He did, however, make his first international appearance in the Twenty20 game against Australia in June, and took 4–24 in his four overs as England recorded a crushing 100-run victory. He made his One Day International debut a few days later in England's win against Bangladesh at The Oval, again impressing with 3–32 from ten overs. He was included in the 13-man squad for the home series against Sri Lanka in 2006, making his Test debut at Trent Bridge on 2 June 2006 and taking a wicket with his fourth delivery (and third legitimate ball) in Test cricket. He is the 634th player to represent England at Test cricket.
He was selected in a number of Test squads during the summer of 2006, but only played in one Test against Sri Lanka, coming to be regarded as something of a perennial 12th man.
He did however bowl well in the ODIs against Pakistan, having finally been given an extended run in the side.
Lewis was selected in England's 15-man squad for the Cricket World Cup 2007, which was held in the Caribbean. Midway through the tournament he returned to England for personal reasons, without playing a game in the World Cup. His most recent appearance for England was a sole appearance in the 2007 limited overs series against India.
On 29 July 2011, it was announced that after 16 years with Gloucestershire, Lewis is to join Surrey on a two-year deal. Lewis left Surrey at the end of the 2013 season to join Sussex on a one-year contract ahead of the 2014 season.
On 28 November 2014, Lewis announced his retirement from the professional game to become bowling coach at Sussex. In 2015 was appointed as Assistant Head Coach at Sussex County Cricket Club. In 2016 Lewis started as the Bowling Coach for England Under 19's.
