He then spent 6 years at Castlehead High School, then continuing his education at Reid Kerr College. Majid is a graduate in Accountancy, obtaining his honours degree from the University of Paisley.

Majid and Omer grew up in the same house in Hunterhill, going to the same school and cricket clubs, firstly the Old Grammarians, then Kelburne, where they were coached by Roddy McLelland. At the end of 2002, Omer moved to rivals, Ferguslie Cricket Club after Roddy McLelland retired from coaching. Majid soon followed after the next season.
