He is one of Bangladesh's leading batsmen. As of 2005, he is the only Bangladeshi with a Test batting average greater than 30. He has scored three Test centuries.
He has been captain of Bangladesh since the beginning of 2004. During this time, Bangladesh has continued to be the lowest-ranked Test-playing nation. Nevertheless, he has led the team to some notable successes. When Zimbabwe (the second lowest-ranked side) toured Bangladesh in January 2005, Bangladesh recorded their first Test match win, their first Test series win, and their first one-day international series win. Then in June 2005, Bangladesh beat the world champions Australia in a one-day international in Cardiff. In April 2006, they came close to beating Australia in a Test match, taking a first-innings lead of 158, and eventually losing by only three wickets.
