It's not just the board that's been caught napping. Hridoy’s own attitude throws up red flags about a wider issue.

Mohammedan Sporting Club captain Towhid Hridoy’s suspension saga took a new turn yesterday after he was handed one demerit point for showing dissent after being given out during their Dhaka Premier League (DPL) match against Gazi Group Cricketers in Mirpur.

Bangladesh batter Towhid Hridoy's suspension in the domestic circuit has caused quite a stir in the cricket fraternity over the past few days. Here, we present the timeline that highlights how things have transpired in a chronological manner:

The circus surrounding the way the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) handled the suspension episode of Mohammedan captain Towhid Hridoy gathered further wind on Friday.

Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal called out the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) over how they handled Towhid Hridoy’s suspension issue and also spoke about a few issues that have ‘upset’ the cricketers after a meeting with the board president in Mirpur today.

There are so many incidents happening in tandem around Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) that sometimes issues get swept under the rug without coming into notice.

Mohammedan Sporting Club’s captain Towhid Hridoy was recently handed a two-match ban but returned to the field today in his side’s Dhaka Premier League (DPL) match against Agrani Bank Cricket Club, with multiple stakeholder providing various explanations on how it was allowed.

Mohammedan Sporting Club skipper Towhid Hridoy was handed a one-match suspension for his heated exchange with on-field umpires Tanvir Ahmed and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat in a Dhaka Premier League fixture against Abahani at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Saturday.

Towhid Hridoy believes the intensity and emotional weight of “a few matches in the Dhaka Premier League (DPL)” push players to give more than they often do in international cricket, after Mohammedan triumphed by 39 runs over their arch-rivals Abahani in a high-stakes DPL fixture on Saturday.

Captaining the star-studded Mohammedan Sporting Club in the ongoing Dhaka Premier League (DPL) was probably the last thing Towhid Hridoy expected to do this year.

“Ben Duckett cost them [England] the game… scored too slow, mate… they should have got to at least 380,” former South Africa batter Herschelle Gibbs said about Duckett’s innings after England lost their Champions Trophy opener against Australia in Lahore last Saturday, despite posting 351 for eight -- the highest total in the competition’s history -- only for Australia to chase it down with five wickets and 15 balls to spare.

Despite scoring a fighting hundred, Towhid Hridoy shouldered the blame for Bangladesh’s failure to post a more challenging target for India in their ICC Champions Trophy Group A match in Dubai yesterday, as the batter said that getting cramped up during the last stretch of his innings shaved a few runs off the total.

After getting dismissed as the last Bangladesh batter in their ICC Champions Trophy opener against India in Dubai yesterday, centurion Towhid Hridoy limped back to the dressing room, with shoulders slumped and a pained expression etched across his face -- a wounded soldier who knew his resilience and determination were not enough to lift Bangladesh out of trouble.

Kyle Mayers and Towhid Hridoy put on a 116-run stand to ease Fortune Barishal to a seven-wicket win over Sylhet Strikers in a Bangladesh Premier League group-stage fixture at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

Towhid Hridoy and Mushfiqur Rahim shined on their return to competitive cricket after injury but failed to get Rajshahi Division over the line against Chattogram Division in the fifth round match of the ongoing National Cricket League T20 at the Sylhet Outer Stadium today.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the squad for the three ODIs against the West Indies, with Najmul Hossain Shanto and batter Towhid Hridoy missing out owing to injuries.

Bangladesh batter Towhid Hridoy, though unwilling to talk about his chances of becoming the new T20I captain, was confident that the team would put behind their recent disappointments and focus at the task at hand in the forthcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan in the UAE.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a 15-member squad for the ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup, starting on October 18 in Oman.

Bangladesh are going into the T20I series against India with promise of more aggression and intent to win. But when going against international teams of the highest-order, Bangladesh’s T20 merits fall short of the standard.

Hridoy stressed Bangladesh are here to win the T20 series.
