Ayub was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In December 2005, he made his debut for Barisal Division in a List A match against Khulna,[1] and subsequently making his first-class debut against the same side.[2] In January 2013, Ayub received modest media coverage as he and Mehrab Hossain, Jr. recorded the highest partnership in Bangladesh's first-class cricket and the second highest in all-time fifth-wicket stands, Ayub top scoring with 289 in a partnership worth 494 runs.[3][4]

As a result of his consistent performance in first-class cricket, Marshall got a call in the test squad for Bangladesh during the tour of Sri Lanka in 2013. However, he could not make it to the first eleven during that tour where Bangladesh lost by 1 – 0 in a two match test series.

In October 2018, he was named in the squad for the Rajshahi Kings team, following the draft for the 2018–19 Bangladesh Premier League.[5]
