Towhid Hridoy Aims to Maintain LPL Form to Asia Cup
Towhid Hridoy, the young batter from Bangladesh, believes that his experience with the Jaffna Kings in the Lanka Premier League, his first time participating in an overseas franchise-based T20 tournament, will better equip him for the upcoming Asia Cup. He feels that this experience will help him be more prepared and perform effectively in the tournament.
Despite having a strong performance in the middle, where he scored 155 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 135.96, including a match-winning 54 off 39 balls in his debut game against Colombo Strikers, the right-handed batter Towhid Hridoy left the tournament early. And although the franchise requested for him to stay until the end of the tournament, he returned home before its completion. Even though Towhid’s participation in the tournament was cut short, he managed to leave a positive impression with his performance before his departure.
Upon his arrival in Dhaka from Sri Lanka on Wednesday, Hridoy spoke to reporters about his experience, saying, “I don’t have any regret because I did not go there for the whole tournament. They requested me to stay back but that didn’t happen and whatever happened I am fine with that.”

“The experience of LPL might help (in the Asia Cup) and it can benefit me. What I do on a particular day is the biggest challenge but still, I got some idea about the grounds and wickets and certainly, it will benefit me to some extent. It was a new experience for me and I enjoyed it. I have learned a lot and hope it will help me in the coming days. I tried to stick to my process and tried to utilize that whenever I got the opportunity. I tried to stay in my plan and play according to the merit (of the ball),” he added.
The 22-year-old cricketer from Bogura demonstrated potential after making his debut in the white-ball formats for Bangladesh earlier this year. It seemed like he had solidified his position in the shorter format. He appeared delighted with the support he received from the crowd in Sri Lanka.
“I received good support. Whenever I fielded on the boundary line, everyone recognized me, they always called me Hridoy, Hridoy,” said the young pacer.
“Every moment was enjoyable for me and nobody made me feel that I am an outsider. Thisara (Perera) was there and Mario (former Bangladesh trainer) was there and a couple of players played Under-19 with me, so I didn’t feel that I was alone. They supported me and I tried to give my best.”
Bangladesh is set to kick off their upcoming Asia Cup journey against Sri Lanka in Kandy, Sri Lanka on August 31. This comes a day after the tournament commences in Multan, Pakistan, with a match between Pakistan and Nepal.
In their Group B matches, Bangladesh will face Afghanistan on September 3 in Lahore, Pakistan. The tournament format includes a Super Fours stage, where the top two teams from the groups will compete against each other. The final will feature the top two teams from the Super Fours stage.
