In his nine years of first-class cricket he has played for Warwickshire County Cricket Club, Warwickshire and Derbyshire County Cricket Club, Derbyshire.

Pigeonholed early on as a limited overs cricketer, he reportedly has a reputation on the cricketing circuit as an accomplished impressionist and comedian. He bats with expert defensive ability and creative attacking strokes. Sheikh played with Warwickshire in their promotion season of 2001, though he would leave in 2003 for another Division Two team, Derbyshire, for whom he has played ever since.

Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket.
