Career as a match referee

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, ICC rescinded its decision to use neutral match referee, instead allowing local match officials to officiate in international cricket.[4] and subsequesntly, he was named as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]
In January 2023, he was named as one of the match referees for the 2023 ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup.[6][7]
