He was part of the Pakistan Customs team. He made his first-class debut in 1995-95 domestic season and was soon picked in the national side.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Domestic_Career\"><\/span> Domestic Career <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Besides playing for Pakistan&#8217;s national team, Zahid has played for various teams, including Pakistan Customs, Rawalpindi XI, Multan XI, Pakistan International Airlines, and the rest. He has been part of 43 first-class games from 1995-2009 and has taken 128 wickets with a bowling average of 26.00. His stats also include eight five-wicket hauls as well as a couple of ten-wickets haul into his bowling account.

He played his first test match on 28th Nov 1996 against New-Zealand at Rawalpindi. The kiwi&#8217;s batsmen could not pick him well as he ended up with figures of 11 wickets for 130 runs, including a five wickets haul in the second innings. His best performance helped Pakistan winning the match by an innings and 13 runs, with Zahid coming as the player of the game. He became the first Pakistani bowler to take ten or more wickets in his debut.<\/li>\n<li>After an impressive start to his Test career, he got to play more cricket for the team. In a test match against West-Indies, he was bowling to legendry batsman Brian Lara, who could not pick his first three bowls of the over, due to the quick pace and edged the fourth ball and gave his wicket away. After that, Lara said that he did never face such a fast bowler in his career. He got famous for his pace, and cricketers and analysts believed that he was the quickest or one of the top fast bowlers in the world.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>His speed could not be measured precisely due to a lack of technology at that time. Zahid could only play in five test-matches as he got a severe back injury. After just five test internationals, he had a back operation, and afterward, his pace got dropped and eventually dropped from the team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_Day_Internationals\"><\/span> One Day Internationals <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\nHe could never perform well in One Day Internationals and was dropped from the team only after eleven One Day International matches.
