Not surprisingly, some of his best bowling efforts came abroad. For example, 4/17 against Canada in ICC Trophy (England) in 1979 and 4/39 against Malaysia in ICC Trophy (England) in 1986. No less impressive was his 1/7 from 10 overs (including 5 maidens) against Fiji in Bangladesh's first match in 79 ICC Trophy.
His bowling skills were particularly impressive when he played abroad, as evidenced by his performances against Canada, Malaysia, and Fiji.  He achieved a remarkable feat of taking 4 wickets for 17 runs against Canada in the ICC Trophy (England) in 1979 and 4 wickets for 39 runs against Malaysia in the ICC Trophy (England) in 1986. His performance of 1 wicket for 7 runs from 10 overs, including five maidens, against Fiji in Bangladesh's first match in the 79 ICC Trophy was also noteworthy.
