In early 2011, Bashir declared his intention to play for Pakistan.

However, the tournament, to be held in Britain, was cancelled just a day before the team's departure for London. He was again called a year later in 2012 by then Pakistan coach Zaviša Milosavljević. On 19 November 2012, Bashir made his international debut for Pakistan in a friendly match against Singapore in the eventual 0–4 defeat. On 6 February 2013, he scored his first goal in his second match for Pakistan, in the 90th minute in a 1–0 victory over Nepal, and later provided the assist for Muhammad Mujahid's winning goal in the second friendly game against Nepal.
