In January 2013, he recorded his best first-class innings figures to that date by taking 8 wickets for 50 runs against Islamabad.[5] Later that season, he took a career-best match haul of 10 for 151 against Faisalabad, including 5 for 81 in the second innings, as Quetta completed their first win of the campaign.[6][7]

In the 2015–16 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Faiz claimed five wickets in each innings against Larkana, finishing with match figures of 10 for 109 as Quetta won by 141 runs.[8] He continued to represent Quetta in domestic cricket into the 2020s.[1]

In August 2020, Faiz was named in Balochistan's squad for the 2020/21 domestic season, and in September 2021 he was named in Balochistan's squad for the 2021 National T20 Cup.[9][10] In October 2022, playing for Balochistan in the Cricket Associations Championship, he took 5 wickets for 101 runs against Southern Punjab and finished with match figures of 8 for 150 in a nine-wicket victory.[11]
