A left-arm opening bowler, Mufasir played first-class cricket in Pakistan from 1960–61 to 1975–76. He toured Australia and New Zealand in 1964–65, playing his only Test at Lancaster Park, Christchurch, where he took the wickets of Ross Morgan (twice) and Bevan Congdon.[1] His best first-class bowling figures, 4 for 16, came in his second match, for Karachi Whites against Karachi Greens in 1961–62.[2]

He umpired one first-class match in Pakistan in 1975–76, just a few weeks after playing his last match.

He was only the second Pakistani Test cricketer to die, after Amir Elahi three years earlier.[3]
