Born in Kenya, he migrated to Pakistan with his family in 1957. His mother was Kenyan, and due to his East African features, he was often mistaken as a member of the Sheedi community.

Controversies

In 1985–86 he became the first player to make claims on the impact of recreational and performance-enhancing drugs in cricket.

Umar also accepted taking gifts and accused his team-mates of indulging in sexual relations with prostitutes in return for underperforming in certain matches.
