In the domestic circuit, Faruk proved himself as a successful captain very early in his career. This prompted the national selectors to make him the Bangladesh captain for the 1993-94 season. This however, didn't turn out to be a very good decision. Specially, in the 1994 ICC Trophy in Kenya, dissatsifaction among senior players combined with injury to key players meant that Bangladesh failed to reach the Semis despite being one of the pre-tournament favorites.Faruq retired from international cricket after playing in the 99 WC. Later on he served as a national selector.
