During the 2021 SAFF Championship game against Nepal, Rakib's back pass to Anisur Rahman Zico lead to confusion in the Bangladesh defense, and after a late challenge by Zico on Nepali striker Anjan Bista he was sent off. Eventually, 10-men Bangladesh ended up drawing the game 1–1, and thus were reach unable to tournament final.[6]
