his place again. He scored his only first-class century in 1961–62, 119 against Southern Punjab, but only 187 runs at 15.58 in the whole season. He also took 22 wickets at 28.04, but was unable to force his way back into the Test team. He played irregularly thereafter, but in five Ranji Trophy matches in 1967–68 he took 25 wickets at 13.44, helping Services reach the semi-finals. In the final zonal match, when Services needed at least a first-innings victory to overtake Railways and make the finals, he took 7 for 59 to dismiss Railways for 114 in reply to Services' 207.
