He is a former Pakistani international cricketer, later commentator and was recently the Chief Selector of Pakistan Cricket Board.

Cricket explained Qadir's bowling skills as he "was a master of the leg-spin" and "mastered the googlies, the flippers, the leg-breaks and the topspins."[2] He is widely regarded as a top spin bowler of his generation and was included in Richie Benaud's Greatest XI shortlist of imaginary cricket team from the best players available from all countries and eras.
