Playing career

In 1999, he made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe.[1] He was also a part of the playing XI of Bangladesh's famous victory over Pakistan in 1999 Cricket World Cup, which was his last match in international cricket.[2]

Career as a match referee

After retiring from cricket, he became a match referee. He first officiated as match referee in 2020 Nepal Tri-Nation Series, officiating all 6 matches of the tournament.[3]

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, ICC rescinded its decision to use neutral match referee, instead allowing local match officials to officiate in international cricket.[4] As a result, he was named as the match referee for all matches played between Bangladesh and West Indies in 2020-21. Thus, he became the first Bangladeshi match referee to officiate in test matches.[5]
