He finished the tour with 67 wickets (28.85) and 366 runs on the tour, including his maiden first-class century, a score of 135, against Somerset in Taunton. 
At home he played regularly in Tests for Pakistan until the 1961-62 season. His best bowling performance was 12-61 for Sevices against Lahore in 1961-62, with 8-53 his best in an innings in the same match. 
He served in the Pakistan army and was captured by Indian troops in the Indo-Pakistan War and incarcerated in a POW camp. 
He played 19 Tests for Pakistan, scoring 395 runs (15.19) with a highest score of 47 against New Zealand in Karachi in 1955-56, and he also captured 20 wickets (40.05). 
In a long first-class career that stretched from 1946-47 to 1969-70 he scored 3490 runs (25.28) with six centuries, and captured 319 wickets (21.98).
