Career Khan made his first-class debut at the age of 17 and built a reputation as one of the most consistent fast bowlers in Pakistan's domestic circuit. Despite performing strongly over many seasons, he remained outside national selection for a prolonged period. His sustained performances for teams such as Karachi Whites and Pakistan Television highlighted his effectiveness even on traditionally slow pitches in Karachi.
In November 2017, he was selected to play for the Karachi Kings in 2018 Pakistan Super League players draft.
He was the leading wicket-taker for Pakistan Television in the 2017β18 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, with 37 dismissals in six matches. In September 2018, in round two of the 2018β19 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, he took figures of 8 for 41 for Pakistan Television against Lahore Blues. He finished the tournament as the leading wicket-taker for Pakistan Television, with twenty-eight dismissals in five matches. In September 2019, he was named in Sindh's squad for the 2019β20 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy tournament.
During the 2016β17 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Khan produced one of his most notable domestic performances when he took match figures of 11 for 76 for Karachi Whites, including six wickets in the first innings and five in the second.
In January 2021, he was named in Pakistan's Test squad for their series against South Africa. In March 2021, he was again named in Pakistan's Test squad, this time for their series against Zimbabwe. He made his Test debut for Pakistan, against Zimbabwe, on 7 May 2021. Making his debut at the age of 36, he became the third-oldest Pakistani Test debutant. Khan was also the oldest Test debutant for Pakistan in 66 years, and only Khalid "Billy" Ibadulla played more first-class games (218) than him (137) before making their Test debut for Pakistan.
