Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Ayub's best performance in Tests came in 1988 when New Zealand visited India. His 21 wickets in the series played a crucial role as India won the series 2-1. In the first game in Bangalore, he grabbed 8/104 in the match as India cruised to a win.
He picked up his career-best figures of 5/50 in the second innings of the Mumbai Test. India though lost the game by 136 runs. He was the best bowler on show in the deciding Test as he had New Zealand on the mat with match figures of 7/91. India went on to win the game by 10 wickets.
Against West Indies in 1989, he picked up two 5-wicket hauls in the 4-match series that India lost 3-0. When India traveled to Pakistan in 1989, he failed to pick a wicket across three innings and that was the last we saw of him in the Test team.
However, he continued to play ODIs for another year. His most important contribution in limited overs cricket was against Pakistan in 1988 Asia Cup. In a low-scoring thriller, his picked up 5/21 as Pakistan were bowled out for 142 and India won the game by 4 wickets.
In an international career that lasted 3 years, Ayub picked up 72 wickets (41 in Tests and 31 in ODIs). He started a cricket academy in 1998. He has also been the manager of the Indian national team time and again, including the 2015 ODI World Cup. He is currently the President of Hyderabad Cricket Association.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Arshad Ayub's Test career lasted just over two years. But in that short eventful time, he experienced the kind of ups and downs that cricketers experience over a much longer period. A right arm off spinner who relied more on accuracy than turn and a useful late order batsman, Ayub played against West Indies, New Zealand and Pakistan. In his debut series against West Indies, he held out promise of bigger things. In the first Test, he took four of the five wickets that West Indies lost in the second innings and it took a special innings from Vivian Richards to halt a rampaging Ayub in his tracks. Then in the third Test he scored a fine 57 at No 9. The next season he played a leading part in India winning the series against New Zealand with a bag of 21 wickets in the three Tests. A few months later he showed that it was not only on Indian pitches that he could succeed by taking 14 wickets against a strong West Indian side in the Caribbean in four Tests. This included two five wicket hauls. However in his next series in Pakistan, he was a total failure. After two Tests he was not only wicketless but was also very expensive and was not considered thereafter.
A utility player like Ayub pulled in his weight in the limited overs game and he had one notable spell when he bowled India to victory against Pakistan in the Asia Cup final at Dhaka in 1988 with a spell of five for 21, then the best bowling figures by an Indian in a ODI. All things considered, he was perhaps discarded too soon but this meant that he could give his all for Hyderabad, for whom he rendered yeoman service for several years. Besides being a shrewd skipper, he also had excellent all round career figures of 2224 runs and 268 wickets.(Partab Ramchand)
