Asia Cup 2023: Bangladesh's Strongest XI
Bangladesh named a 17-member squad for the forthcoming continental tournament
4. Towhid Hridoy
Towhid Hridoy’s responsibility will be to reinforce Bangladesh’s middle order. During Ireland’s tour of Bangladesh in March 2023, he made his ODI debut. The right-handed batter has played only nine one-day matches so far, in which he has scored 338 runs with three fifties in eight innings.
Playing his debut series, he succeeded in impressing Bangladesh supporters with his fine batting performance. He scored 141 runs in two innings of three games at a stellar strike rate of 118.48 and ended up as the third-leading run-getter in the series. In his debut game, he became the Player of the Match for guiding his team to a 183-run win with his 92-run knock off just 85 deliveries.
However, his real test will be in the Asia Cup 2023 where he will confront the quality bowling attacks of India and Pakistan. Currently, the 22-year-old is playing for Jaffna Kings in the Lanka Premier League (LPL). His league experience will help him to deliver the best to his national side in the marquee tournament.
