Towhid Hridoy was shaped by unfortunate long before his first international appearance for Bangladesh national team. In 2013, a ‘fake’ cricket academy in Banasree embezzled money from him deceitfully. His family suffered as they had to mortgage land for a young Hridoy to join that academy but his career faced early setback. Batting with the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim yesterday, Towhid showcased his own talent. He talked to The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi on facing deceit when pursuing cricket, and support of his family through difficult times. He also talked about batting with Mushfiqur Rahim yesterday and gave his opinion on Mashrafe Bin Mortaza’s comment during the BPL regarding his national team call up.

Amir was banned in 2010 when the then 19-year-old was suspended for five years by the ICC after being found guilty of deliberately bowling no balls against England at Lord’s in last year’s spot-fixing scandal.

Impactful cameos from Shanaka and Mahedi ensured Rangpur cross the finish line with three deliveries remaining
The day's first game between Barishal and Rangpur is a must-win affair, while the losers of the Qualifier 1 will have another chance to book a place in the final as they will play against the winners of the Eliminator in the second qualifier on Tuesday.
