Qureshi moved to Swindon, Wiltshire, during his youth. He was educated in the county at Abbeyfield School, Chippenham,[1] before attending the prestigious Marlborough College on a sports bursary.[2] In 2010, he made his debut in county cricket for Wiltshire, making two appearances in that seasons Minor Counties Championship against Wales Minor Counties at Trowbridge and Herefordshire at Colwall.[3]

While studying for a degree in Business Management at Cardiff Metropolitan University,[1] Qureshi made his first-class debut for Cardiff MCCU in 2012, the same season that the England and Wales Cricket Board had conferred first-class status on the team, with his debut coming against Somerset at Taunton Vale Sports Club Ground. In Cardiff MCCU's first-innings of 342 declared, Qureshi made 47 before he was run out by Peter Trego. In the team's second-innings, he was dismissed for 15 by Max Waller. The match ended in a draw.[4] A week after the end of this match, he made a second first-class appearance against Warwickshire at Edgbaston.

Qureshi has played Second XI cricket with Gloucestershire and toured India with the county in April 2011.[2]
