Farrukh Zaman was named in the squad for the 1976 Test against New Zealand in Hyderabad. Pakistan had earlier scored 473 runs with eight wickets in hand. Sadiq Mohammad 103, Mushtaq Mohammad 101, Majid Khan 98 and Asif Iqbal 73 were the prominent scorers in this big score. The Pakistani batsmen decorated the stadium with their charming stokes without taking the Kiwi bowlers into consideration. Due to declaring the innings, Farrukh Zaman, who came on the field with many aspirations, did not get a chance to bat. In reply, the New Zealand team could not hold the batting length and the entire team returned to the pavilion for 219 runs. The fate of New Zealand would have been even worse had it not been for the help of Galen Turner 49, Mark Butches 33 and Robert Anderson 30. From Pakistan, Sarfraz 53/3, Imran Khan 41/3 and Javed Miandad 20/2 were prominent. John Parker's 82 in the second innings helped New Zealand score 254 runs. This time Intikhab Alam 44/4, Sarfraz 45/2, Javed Miandad 74/3 were the cause of trouble for Kiwi players. Pakistan got a target of just 3 runs to win which they won by 10 wickets without losing a wicket. Thus Farrukh Zaman could not play any important role in this Test in both bowling and batting but the victory of the Pakistani team gave him the honor that he took part in the victory of the team without showing any performance in his test.
