[edit]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]

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, ICC rescinded its decision to use neutral match referee, instead allowing local match officials to officiate in international cricket.[4] and subsequesntly, he was named as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]
