He currently plays first-class cricket for Dhaka Metropolis, and Twenty20 cricket for the Chittagong Kings.

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.

He was the leading wicket-taker for the team in the tournament, with sixteen dismissals in twelve matches.
