Club statistics

Early career & European trial Badsha joined Dhanmondi giants Abahani Limited Dhaka in 2012, at the age of 13. While still training with the Abahani youth team, Badsha participated in the 2012 Pioneer League with Khilgaon FA and went onto win the league title while making only a couple of appearances for the club. The following year, he returned to Abahani and participated in the BFF U-18 Football Tournament, before making his senior team breakthrough.

On 21 July 2014, a 17 year old Badsha got the opportunity to trial for Belgian First Division A club Anderlecht, however, his European trial did not come to fruition due to passport issues. Although Badsha had only made a single league appearance before the offer, Bangladesh national team's head coach at the time Lodewijk de Kruif and assistant coach Rene Koster initially made the arrangements possible after Badsha caught the attention of the Dutch coaches during the 2014 AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers.

Abahani Limited Dhaka After joining Abahani in 2012, Badsha made his first appearance during the 2013–14 season by coming on as a substitute, however, he was not a regular face in the team, due to there being more experienced defenders at his position at the time. Badsha, finally got a few appearances after veteran defenders Atiqur Rahman Meshu and Mohammed Ariful Islam parted ways with the club.

In the 2017–18 season, Badhsa became a regular for Abahani in defense due to his good performances while partnering veteran center back and former Bangladesh national team captain, Nasiruddin Chowdhury, the same season he won the Bangladesh Football League title with the club, making 21 league appearances during the course of the season. Badsha also created a strong defensive partnership with Afghanistan international Masih Saighani, helping Abahani become the first Bangladeshi club to reach the knockout-stages of the 2019 AFC Cup.

At the start of the 2021–222 season, he paired up with Iranian Milad Sheykh Soleimani, and kept a stern defense as Abahani won the domestic cup double. However, due to injury, Badsha could not hold onto his good form during the league campaign, as Abahani lost the championship to Bashundhara Kings.

On 6 August 2022, after continuous speculation, Badsha announced his departure from his boyhood club Abahani, through a Facebook post. He spent 10 years at the club making more than a century off appearances for Abahani in all competitions and also won all three domestic trophies along the way.

Bashundhara Kings In August 2022, Badsha announced Bashundhara Kings as his new destinations.

International career In 2017, Badsha captained the Bangladesh U18 team to a runners-up position at the 2017 SAFF U-18 Championship. He later captained the Bangladesh U23 national team during their disappointing 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualifying campaign. The team conceded a total of 10 goals during the 3 qualifying matches.

Badsha made his senior debut for Bangladesh national team on 27 March 2018 against Laos in a FIFA international friendly match.
