During the 2015 winter Andrews trained in England with Bashley Rydal on a scholarship.[7] Andrews went on to play his first one-day matches for South Australia in the 2015–16 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup, being included in the state's 14-man squad for the tournament.[8] During the tournament he took 4/41, the best bowling figures for the match, in a big win over Cricket Australia XI that took South Australia into the elimination final.[9] Overall he performed well, taking nine wickets from eight matches, and as a result he was included in the Cricket Australia XI squad to take on the West Indians in their tour of Australia, his first-class debut.[10][11] His fortunes continued to improve and he made his Sheffield Shield debut for South Australia when their usual spin bowler, Adam Zampa had been selected to play for Australia in the Chappell–Hadlee Trophy, and he impressed with a four-wicket haul.[2][12] South Australia made it to the Sheffield Shield final, but Andrews wasn't included in the team (he was there as their twelfth man) as they decided to play with four fast bowlers.[7]
After breaking into both the first-class and one-day teams for South Australia, Andrews was upgraded from his rookie contract to a full contract with the team,[13] and rather than going back to England to train he went back to Darwin to play with the Darwin Eagles in the newly formed Darwin and Districts cricket competition.[7] He spent most of the 2016–17 season playing in the Futures League, but was brought into the Adelaide Strikers team as an injury replacement for BBL|06.[14] He made his Twenty20 debut for the Strikers on 31 December 2016.[15] He was brought into South Australia's Sheffield Shield squad for the Sheffield Shield final as a potential second spin bowler because the pitch at Traeger Park in Alice Springs is traditionally a spinner-friendly pitch.[16]
