The Sialkot spin master made his debut in 2006 during the home ODI series against the Windies and was known for his flat arm trajectory. He made his Test debut against South Africa in the following year as he took twin four-wickets haul on debut and ended the series as the highest wicket taker for Pakistan.

However, he was somehow lost in the red-ball format for some reasons and made his return to Test cricket after three years.
