Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
697 wickets from 176 first-class games does talk about the rich vein of experience he garnered playing at the domestic level. But even at the international level, his numbers did shine through for Pakistan. The highlight of his career being the 9 wickets at Bengaluru in Sunil Gavaskar's swansong Test in 1987. Match figures of 9/77 against the Lankans at Kandy a year ago remained his career best.
A career spanning over 13 years from 1980-93 had him featuring in only 34 games and that was majorly due to benign wickets or the presence of Abdul Qadir. But even then Tauseef did carve a niche for himself with his flight and guile.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Pakistan's Tauseef Ahmed tended to be overshadowed by his more illustrious colleagues, Abdul Qadir and Iqbal Qasim, but he was a skilled and cunning offspinner, even if his afro and moustache did make him look like Lionel Richie. He took seven wickets on his debut, after being plucked from nowhere to play against Australia in 1979-80. And it was his destiny to play a huge role in Pakistan's famous 16-run victory over India at Bangalore in 1986-87, when he and Iqbal took nine wickets each, and Sunil Gavaskar wound up his Test career with a masterful 96. Two years later, against Australia at Karachi, Tauseef had match figures of 47.4-28-44-3, par for the course for this thrifty performer, whose average was superior to the great Qadir's.
