Hamid graduated from Aitchison in 1962. He was the winner of the Aitchison Challenge Cup in 1961. A proud Kelly-ite, who held athletic colours in 1960.

His international cricketing career was brief but notable. He played his sole Test match for Pakistan in December 1964 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where he claimed the wicket of iconic Ian Chappell. May Allah grant the bereaved family the strength to bear this irreparable loss. Amen.
