He had an unusually extended first-class cricket career, from 1982/83 until his last match for Pakistan Customs in December 2005, a period of 22 years. For the majority of his first-class career he played for National Bank of Pakistan for whom he scored over 10,000 runs, a record for the team.[1]

Sajid Ali played 13 one-day internationals for Pakistan over almost as many years without ever producing a performance to suggest that he would be a regular in the side. In 12 ODI innings he only scraped 130 runs, with a best of 28. His first-class career was as prolonged, stretching over 22 seasons.[2]

In February 2020, he was named in Pakistan's squad for the Over-50s Cricket World Cup in South Africa.[3][4] However, the tournament was cancelled during the third round of matches due to the coronavirus pandemic.[5]
