Please can someone answer which sentence is correct?

OR

1One should not confuse the a of the verb avoir : il a joué (hence past participle joué) with the preposition à : il a commencé à jouer (hence infinitive jouer).– XouDoSep 15, 2021 at 12:55

Tips : you have 3 verbs : "a (avoir), commencé, jouer" in different tenses [it is the first rule] and a twice, one have to have an accent [this is the second rule in your example]. So — 1° : a + past participle. 2° — à + infinitive. In this case the verb commencer à is used.– PersonneSep 16, 2021 at 13:20

il a commencé à jouer is the right one, I guess you could have asked any translator for that, deepl is a good one imo.
The rule is: after a preposition (in this case à) verbs are always at the infinitive form
