Suffix Senior

In 1968, another player Abdul Rashid (field hockey, born 1947) also started playing in the Pakistan hockey team. Therefore, to differentiate between them, suffixes 'Senior' and 'Junior' were added to their names and they were then on called Rashid Senior and Rashid Junior. Both played together in a number of international matches between 1968 and 1969.
