Ashiqur represented Bangladesh U-19 cricket team in the youth level and was selected in the Bangladeshi squad for the 2002 Under-19 Cricket World Cup which was captained by Nafees Iqbal.[2] He played a pivotal role in Bangladesh's stunning group stage match victory over India chasing a low total of 78 runs during the World Cup taking 3 crucial wickets and also faced 26 balls without scoring.[3][4][5]

He retired from playing professional cricket and became a coach of Bangladesh Cricket Development. He also had a short stint as the assistant coach of the Bangladesh women's national cricket team. He is currently serving as a development coach of Prime Bank Cricket Club which is owned by the Prime Bank Limited in the Dhaka Premier League.[7]
