Also an occasional off-break bowler, his best spell of bowling in first-class cricket was four wickets for 46 runs.
He made his full international debut in a One Day International against South Africa in Chittagong in March 2008, and became the first-choice wicketkeeper for Bangladesh for most of the year ahead of Mushfiqur Rahim, although Mushfiqur returned for the 2008 Asia Cup matches.
He was dropped when Mushfiqur returned to form, and gave up his international career when he signed for the Dhaka Warriors in the Indian Cricket League.
[1][2] He was banned for 10 years by the Bangladesh Cricket Board for participating in the "rebel" tournament, but along with other Bangladeshi players left the ICL in 2009 after an amnesty was offered.
