A left-arm spinner, Qureshi made his first-class debut in two matches for Pakistan in 1949–50, against Commonwealth XI and Ceylon.

The next season, captaining Lahore in the Ayub Trophy, he took 9 for 28 in the first innings against Lahore Education Board. These were record bowling figures for Pakistan cricket until Ahad Khan took 9 for 7 in 1964–65.
His father, Amjad Qureshi, and two brothers also played first-class cricket.
