The following season he signed for departmental side Khan Research Laboratories, where he went on to win three Pakistan Premier League titles, two Challenge Cup titles and finishing runners-up in the 2013 AFC President's Cup.[2][3] Three years later Adil's signature was pursued by a leading Kyrgyzstani club, and after protracted transfer negotiations he joined Dordoi Bishkek in 2014.[4][5] Adil played a major role in helping the team win a treble; the league title, league cup and super cup, scoring four goals and making six assists in the league. After being linked to a club of Eerste Divisie in Netherlands, Derby County, and Pembroke Athleta, after refusing to further extend his contract with Dordoi Bishkek, Adil returned to Khan Research Laboratories, winning the 2016 Pakistan Football Federation Cup.
