In a first class career that lasted more than a decade, Waqar picked up 956 wickets in 228 matches. At 22 years and 15 days, Waqar was the youngest to ever captain a Pakistani Test side. He captained Pakistan in 17 Tests and 62 ODIs. Waqar was a trendsetter. He brought about a big paradigm shift in the art of fast bowling. As opposed to the 'fast and short' bowling that used to dominate those days, Waqar used to bowl full and fast, aiming for the batsman's toes. This ability also earned him the nickname 'The Toe crusher'. With his ability to move the ball late, Waqar became a lethal operator, both with the new and the old ball. Waqar had an unpleasant end to his playing career after Pakistan had a catastrophic 2003 World Cup under his leadership. They could only beat Netherlands and Namibia in the tournament. After this, Waqar couldn't pave his way back into the team, a team which was being drafted keeping the future in mind. As a result, Waqar announced his retirement in April 2004. Post-retirement, he took up coaching positions.
