A left-arm slow bowler, Aziz-ur-Rehman made his first-class debut in the 1983-84 season. In the first match of the 1984-85 season, competing in the Patron's Trophy, he took 7 for 45 for Sargodha in the second innings against Faisalabad to give Sargodha victory by 142 runs.[1] In the next match a few days later against Gujranwala he took 6 for 70 and 5 for 74 in a victory by 19 runs.[2] With 34 wickets at 15.35, he was the leading wicket-taker in the competition that season.[3] He took his best match figures, and established the Sargodha record, in 1989-90 against Karachi Whites, with 13 for 78 (7 for 47 and 6 for 31).[4]
Initially he played purely as a bowler, but later in his career he developed as an all-rounder. In his final match for Sargodha, the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy final in 1992-93, he opened the batting in the second innings and top-scored with 67.[5] His top score was 84 not out, for Pakistan University Grants Commission against Pakistan Automobiles Corporation in 1991-92.[6]
