Career
A medium-pace bowler, Sajjad Ahmed had a modest career except for two outstanding performances for Peshawar in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy at the Peshawar Club Ground. In 1956-1957, opening the bowling, he took 7 for 38 and 6 for 51 against Bahawalpur, yet Peshawar still lost by 144 runs. In 1958-1959, again opening the bowling, he took 2 for 50 and 9 for 80 against Combined Services, but Peshawar lost by 185 runs.
He was the third bowler to take nine wickets in an innings in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, after Fazal Mahmood and Israr Ali.
He was selected in a President"s XI against the touring West Indians later in 1958-1959 in a match at the Peshawar Club Ground, but was given only three overs.
