However, before this, he was known as a staunch critic of the policies of the board. After this, his role changed and he became the chief selector of the board. It was his chosen team that won the International Cricket Council (ICC) World T20 in England. However, Qadir resigned as the chief selector of the tournament after differences with former PCB chairman Ejaz Butt over the non-selection of former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar.
