A right-handed batsman and a right-arm offbreak bowler, Ahmed Quadri made his first-class debut for Hyderabad in 2008 against Delhi. Although he did not impress much in his maiden outing, he continued to be a part of his state team for decent contributions with bat and ball. Quadri was Hyderabad's leading run-scorer in the 2011-2012 Ranji Trophy season.

Earlier a part of the Rajasthan Royals in 2010, Quadri was bought by the IPL franchise Deccan Chargers ahead of the fifth season in the year 2012.
