The following year, Peter Turner who was in charge of the Bangladesh U19 selected Maraz for the 2020 AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers, where Bangladesh failed to win a single game and even suffered a defeat at the hands of Bhutan.[4]

In September 2021, interim appointed Maruful Haque named Maraz in his squad for the 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers. After less than a months training, the team produced frustrating results at they conceded a total of 11 goals during the three matches played. Maraz started all three games for the team throughout the qualifiers.[5]

Maraz was called up to a 30 member preliminary team by Jamie Day before the 2021 SAFF Championship. However, after Days's dismissal only a month before the tournament, interim coach Óscar Bruzón did not keep him in the final squad.[6]

On 24 March 2022, Maraz made his debut for the Bangladesh national football team, coming on as a substitute for Biplu Ahmed in the 87th minute against Maldives. Bangladesh ended up losing the friendly 2-0.[7]
