An useful all-rounder, Naib batted lower down the order and was an useful change bowler - one who could chip in with a few overs of medium pace. Having begun his cricketing journey in 2008, it didn't take long for Naib to earn his first international cap - he made his debut against Canada in 2011.

Naib struggled to assert himself with both bat and ball and it didn't help that he wasn't offered a consistent run to cement his place in the national squad. Battling family health concerns, Naib kept going at the game that he loved and he earned a comeback in mid-2014 - during the tour of Zimbabwe. Things didn't go according to plan though and Naib fell out of the selectors favour - ahead of the 2105 World Cup.
