Maqsood Ahmed was a useful all rounder in the first ever cricket team of Pakistan.
Before the creation of Pakistan, he played for Southern Punjab in India, scoring 144 in his very first match.
An aggressive hitter of the ball, Maqsood played a vital role in the recognition of Pakistan as test playing nation when he made 137 against the visiting MCC in 1951–52.

The English press dubbed him "Merry Max".
He played 16 Test matches, scoring a total of 507 runs.

His first-class record is better, with 3815 runs in 85 matches between 1945 and 1964, including six centuries.
A right-handed middle-order batsman, Maqsood was a hard hitter of the ball and is one of the Test cricketers whose highest score was 99, which he made in the Third Test against India in 1954–55.
Though a brilliant batsman, his performance in Test matches was rather irregular because of his carefree attitude.
He also took 124 wickets, with 7 for 39 and 6 for 44 against Sargodha in 1962–63 his best bowling figures.
He was the leading bowler in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy in 1962–63 with 34 wickets at an average of 9.29.

From independence to the time of his death he was associated with cricket in Pakistan and dedicated all his life and abilities for the promotion of Pakistan cricket.
In recognition of his service one of the gates of the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium carries his name, "Maqsood Ahmed Enclosure" and so does one of the benches at the Bagh-e-Jinnah Cricket Ground located inside the historic Lahore Gymkhana.
