In September of that year, Tipu was part of the Pakistan team which played against both Turkey and Iran at the 1969 RCD Cup, held in Ankara, Turkey.

"We could clearly feel the discrimination from West Pakistanis, especially the Punjabis."
— Tipu on his time with the Pakistan national football team.[5]
On 13 February, during the first in independent Bangladesh, which was between President XI and Bangladesh XI, Tipu was the vice-captain of the President XI and scored the first goal of the match, which ended in his team winning 2–0 (Scooter Abdul Gafoor scored the second goal).[6] On 11 May 1972, Tipu's Mohammedan SC took on Mohun Bagan AC, who were the first foreign team to visit Bangladesh after independence. Although Tipu was on the losing side at the end of the game, two days later on 13 May, Tipu defeated the Indian side as a member of the Dhaka XI, with Kazi Salahuddin scoring the only goal.[7]
Later on that year, Tipu played for the Dhaka XI at India's Bordoloi Trophy, and scored in the final against East Bengal Club, as his team finished runner-up. However, a knee injury he suffered in 1972, prevented him a place in the first Bangladesh national football team, which played in Malaysia's Merdeka Tournament, in 1973. After returning from injury, Tipu could not regain his old form, and retired in 1979, without getting a chance to play for Bangladesh.[5]

In 1980, a year after his retirement from plaing, Tipu took charge of Mohammedan SC. With them he won the league title in 1980 and 1982. During his debut year as coach, Tipu also got an opportunity to train in England. He managed the Bangladesh U19 at the qualifying round of the 1985 AFC Youth Championship, eventually failing to guide the team to the main tournament. The same year he managed the senior national team at the 1984 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers in Jakarta, Indonesia. His first win as the national team coach came against Philippines, during the qualifiers. In 1986, he was in charge of the national team again, this time during the 1986 Asian Games, in Seoul, South Korea, and the only game Bangladesh won during the tournament came against Nepal.[8]
