Wazir was selected for the 1954 tour of England when his uncle, Syed Nazir Ali, was one of selector of the team, raising questions such as nepotism. He selection came after just two first-class matches in which he had made 18 runs and taken 5 wickets. In 16 first-class matches on the tour he made 253 runs at 16.86 as a middle-order batsman and took 9 wickets at 54.90. He played in the first and third Tests, batting in the lower order and not bowling. He played no more first-class cricket after the tour, and is thus the only Test cricketer whose first-class career ended before he turned 19. He played one match as a professional for East Lancashire in the Lancashire League in 1957, taking 5 for 57.
