In his second season, Al-Buraikan scored 18 goals in all competitions, once again finishing as the club's top scorer.

Nonetheless, his good form at the under-20 allowed him to be summoned for the senior side in 2019 for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round against Singapore.

He scored his first international goal against Kuwait in the 24th Arabian Gulf Cup as Saudi Arabia lost 3–1.

He went on to play an instrumental role, scoring three goals in the third round as Saudi Arabia impressed by topping the qualifiers.

However, the assist turned to be Al-Buraikan's only impression, as his inability to score saw Saudi Arabia condemned to bottom place after losing to Poland and Mexico.
