He played international cricket for Bangladesh in 2004, one Test match and four One Day Internationals without establishing himself in the side. After poor performances at international level, Hossain drifted out of the international squad. He represented Chittagong Division in Bangladesh's domestic competition. Although primarily a batsman, Hossain was a part-time left arm spin bowler. He is currently active as a cricket coach.
