A left-handed batsman and slow left arm orthodox bowler, he made his debut for Dhaka Division in the 2001–02 season.[1] He currently plays first-class cricket for Dhaka Metropolis, and Twenty20 cricket for the Chittagong Kings.[2]
In 2016, he was selected in Bangladesh's squad for the 2016 ICC World Twenty20. However, he was later suspended from bowling in international cricket due to an illegal action bowled during the tournament.[3]
In October 2018, he was named in the squad for the Rajshahi Kings team, following the draft for the 2018–19 Bangladesh Premier League.[4] He was the leading wicket-taker for the team in the tournament, with sixteen dismissals in twelve matches.[5] He was also the leading wicket-taker for Dhaka Metropolis in the 2018–19 National Cricket League, with twenty-three dismissals in five matches.[6] In November 2019, he was selected to play for the Rangpur Rangers in the 2019–20 Bangladesh Premier League.[7]
