Ashraf began cricket career when he joined school cricket team of Government Islamia High School in Okara.[6] His performance in school cricket led to participation in regional Under-15 tournaments.[6]
At 15, Ashraf was noticed by Mian Munir, then Club President at Okara Gymkhana Cricket Club, and joined the club, eventually becoming its captain.[6]
In 2013, Wasim Haider facilitated his entry into first-class cricket with Multan and on his debut he made a half-century.[6] Later, he also played in limited-overs formats with the Multan Tigers.[6] Despite setbacks, including being dropped from the Pakistan Under-23s and playing during Multan's relegation to Grade II, Ashraf continued to compete in club cricket.[6]
He later joined Ghani Glass cricket team, where he led the scoring in the PCB Patron's Trophy (Grade II).[6] Ashraf also played for Lahore Whites in the National T20 Cup and opened the batting for Balochistan in the Pakistan Cup of 2019.[6]
