Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Born in Sind, Iqbal made his Test debut at the age of 23 in Adelaide against the Aussies in 1976. And then over the course of almost 12 years and 50 Tests began Qasim's tryst with the Pakistani Test team. He formed an able partnership with Abdul Qadir and Tauseef Ahmed to choke the opposition for runs. His accurate lower trajectory deliveries always tested the batsmen for good.
Having gone wicket-less in his debut innings, Iqbal sought redemption with 4 wickets in the second essay and almost jeopardized Australia's chances of a draw at Adelaide. His 9-fer at Bengaluru in 1987 in Sunil Gavaskar's farewell Test is well documented. Along with Tauseef, Iqbal shared 18 wickets and Pakistan won a cliffhanger of a contest. For a man who thrived on accuracy, he only featured in 15 ODIs. He ended with a unique 999 wickets at the first-class level in 246 games!
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
With a steady, angular approach between umpire and stumps, and a low trajectory that pushed the ball through, Iqbal Qasim was a miserly but penetrative left-arm spinner. Among slow bowlers, only Abdul has taken more Test wickets for Pakistan. A short man, he was more concerned with accuracy than flight, rarely going for much more than two an over, but he was a regular for over a decade. His batting was less reliable, but his close fielding was occasionally spectacular.
