Controversies
In 2008, Sujan took half his contract money from Abahani Limited Dhaka and was supposed to stay with the club that season. However, Sujan decided to return to his former club Brothers Union. Nevertheless, due to the controversy Sujan ended up returning to Abahani the following season. International career
On 8 February 2001, Sujan made his debut for the Bangladesh national team against Vietnam, during the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. During the qualifiers, Sujan scored a brace against Mongolia and helped Bangladesh come from behind to take the lead. However, after a late equalizer saw the game end in a 2–2 draw. Sujan played four out of the five matches during the 2003 SAFF Gold Cup. He helped Bangladesh keep a solid defense as they only conceded twice during the entire tournament. On 1 January 2003 after a 1–1 stalemate during the final of the tournament, against Maldives, Sujan stepped up to take the last penalty during the shootout and kept his nerves as Bangladesh won their first ever SAFF Championship. The match is seen as one of the most important matches in the countries footballing history. After a six-year absence from the national team, newly appointed head coach Nikola Ilievski recalled Sujan in 2011, after watching his performances in the league with Dhanmondi Club. Ilievski made Sujan the captain of the national team during the 2011 SAFF Championships. However, under his leadership Bangladesh crashed out of the tournament after being defeated 3–1 by rivals Maldives during the last group-stage game. The team was heavily criticized due to their individual mistakes, in the end costing them a place in the knockout stages. On 4 March 2013, Sujan made his last appearance for the national team against Nepal during the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers. Sujan made a total of 35 appearances and scored 3 goals for his country during his twelve year long international career. Career statistics
