A right-hand top-order batsman, Ehsanul Haque has been one of the stalwarts of domestic cricket, but couldn't convert his club and first-class runs onto the international stage. In a brief Test career, in which he batted twice in a day, he has an aggregate of seven runs. He has a top-score of 20 in ODIs, against West Indies in 2002, but what destroyed his international career was the 2003 World Cup. Despite taking Brian Lara's wicket in an abandoned game in Benoni, Ehsanul was part of Bangladesh's most wretched World Cup campaign.

But his first-class career, which continued till 2008, was an illustrious one. In 49 matches for Chittagong, Ehsanul made 10 hundreds, with three each coming in the 2006 and 2007 seasons. He was also one of the most sought-after captains in the Dhaka Premier League.

He ended his playing career in 2007-08, before being made a selector for the various age-group teams by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
