He was selected for the 1954 tour of England after just two first-class matches in which he had made 18 runs and taken 5 wickets. In 16 first-class matches on the tour he made 253 runs at 16.86 as a middle-order batsman and took 9 wickets at 54.90.[3] He played in the first and third Tests, batting in the lower order and not bowling. He played no more first-class cricket after the tour,[4] and is thus the only Test cricketer whose first-class career ended before he turned 19.^{[citation needed]}

He played one match as a professional for East Lancashire in the Lancashire League in 1957, taking 5 for 57.[5]

Early education and family

He was educated at the St. Patrick's High School, Karachi.[6]

His father Wazir Ali played Test cricket for India in the 1930s.[7]
