In September 2000, Abdul Waheed was interviewed to see the changes in the views of Olympic athletes since his team won the gold medal:
"When we won Olympic gold in hockey in 1960 we did not get anything in return. We would walk for miles to reach grounds and it was passion not lust that ruled our hearts."
He died in Karachi on 21 February 2022, at the age of 85.[2]
