International career

Hossain made his senior debut against Sri Lanka during a 2020 Bangabandhu Cup match on 19 January 2020. He was credited with an assist on Mohammad Ibrahim's goal in the 83rd minute.[5]

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. 10-men Bangladesh ended up drawing the game 1-1, and thus were unable to reach the finals of the tournament.[6]

On 22 September 2022, Rakib scored his first senior international goal for Bangladesh in 1–0 win over Cambodia.[7]
