Ayub has also represented the Bangladesh A side and played for Cyclones of Chittagong, Khulna Royal Bengals and Chittagong Kings in the now defunct Bangladesh National Cricket League and the Bangladesh Premier League respectively.

Ayub was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In December 2005, he made his debut for Barisal Division in a List A match against Khulna,{{cite web |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/84/84307.html |title=Khulna Division v Barisal Division, 3 December 2005 |publisher=CricketArchive |accessdate=17 January 2013 }} and subsequently making his first-class debut against the same side.{{cite web |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/84/84323.html |title=Khulna Division v Barisal Division, 4–7 December 2005 |publisher=CricketArchive |accessdate=17 January 2013 }} 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.{{cite news |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bcl-12/content/story/600265.html |title=Mehrab-Ayub partnership breaks Bangladesh record |last=Isam |first=Mohammad |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=9 January 2013 |accessdate=17 January 2013 }}{{cite news |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bcl-12/content/story/600566.html |title=North, Central Zone to meet in BCL final |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=11 January 2013 |accessdate=17 January 2013 }}

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.tigercricket.com.bd/2018/10/29/full-players-list-of-the-teams-following-players-draft-of-bpl-t20-2018-19/ |title=Full players list of the teams following Players Draft of BPL T20 2018-19 |work=Bangladesh Cricket Board |accessdate=29 October 2018}}
