Playing Position (left Half, Center Half)
The position of left-half is generally regarded as a defensive one in Asian style hockey but, like Fazalur Rahman (1965–72) and Naeem Akhtar (1982–88), Waseem proved this perception wrong. He is not only a dynamo in defence but also in attack. He displays an extremely high work-rate. Waseem, also known as Muhammad Waseem in media, struck 6 goals in 303 international outings. He is an ex-student of Government College Lahore now known as GC University (Ravian) which in itself is a rare distinction for a hockey player.
