The Rawalpindi born allrounder made his first-class debut against Peshawar in October 2004 but failed to impress with bat or ball. However, in their second match against Multan, Sohail Tanvir scored an unbeaten 97, having three windows, but has only played 17 games from first class (a total of 19 in three seasons).

Tanvir has established itself as a versatile bike and hitting his unbeaten 124 (his second century of first class) in 2007 pentangular Cup match against Sind further established that point. He also represented Pakistan Academy on their tour of Bangladesh and its good performance and complete the tour against Australia A in the ODI series at home made the selectors to name him as the replacement Shoaib Akhtar in the inaugural World ICC Twenty20. The decision was a surprise, however, as Tanvir had not taken a wicket in the ten games he had played Twenty20.
His action badly, however, caused a lot of trouble batsmen and has emerged as the big surprise in the ICC World Twenty20. Although not picked up by the test team, Tanvir was back in the colors of Pakistan in ODI series against South Africa. He recorded an impressive 6 of 14 of Rajasthan in the IPL - the best figures in a Twenty20.He also bowls occasional arm orthodox spin left, as demonstrated in his second career Test, against India in Calcutta.

World Cup selection (2011)

Despite being back in the team for the two-test series and the final Twenty20 Tanvir wasn’t selected, despite not having played an international match in thirteen-months he was named in Pakistan’s 15-man World Cup Squad he finally returned to the national team in the first ODI against New Zealand after Pakistan elected to bat Tanvir scored six-runs as Pakistan were bowled out for 124, however Tanvir also took one-wicket it would turn out to be Pakistan’s only wicket of the match as New Zealand won by nine-wicket

Twenty20 Big Bash

In December 2008, Tanvir was signed by the Australian domestic side Southern Redbacks for the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash. In his first match against Western Australia he was pitted against fellow Pakistani fast bowler Umar Gul and although he was caught out first ball he took 1-15 with the ball for his side in a winning cause. International commitment meant he wasn’t available for the entirety of the tournament and he struggled to get amongst the wickets, although his batting form improved throughout his short stint.
