Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
With over 10000 FC runs and more than 400 dismissals, Imtiaz had a commendable career in both roles. His terrific glovework often had his captains in awe and unsurprisingly, he even went to the County circuit in England, setting the tournament on fire with a stupendous season with plenty of runs and dismissals behind the sticks. It was one of the best ever performances by a visiting gloveman and won the hearts of all those who watched him play. After a series of stop gap keepers and makeshift men behind the sticks, Imtiaz was the first Pakistani player who was a genuine wicket-keeper batsman. It wasn't a rosy start for Imtiaz though, as he registered three ducks in his first four Test innings and generally endured a disappointing first few years in the international level. However, the think tank's persistence with him paid off in the long run. In his farewell Test, Imtiaz signed off in style with fantastic efforts in both innings, especially the second where his efforts helped to avoid an innings defeat. Pakistan still lost the game comprehensively but Imtiaz left with a fine performance.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Imtiaz Ahmed was one of the fine, proud, patriotic band of cricketers, most of them Lahore College graduates, who gave Pakistan such a successful start in the 1950s. As a batsman he was a magnificent hooker: Majid Khan said he was inspired by the sight of Imtiaz taking on Wes Hall at Lahore in 1958-59. He was also Pakistan's first regular wicketkeeper, which often forced him to bat down the order when he was so suited to being an attacking opener. In England in 1954 he came closer than any tourist before or since to the wicketkeeper's double of 1000 runs and 100 dismissals in a first-class season - he finished 14 dismissals short.
