Shuvagata Hom Chowdhury (
Born in Mymensingh, Shuvagata is one of the several Bangladesh players to emerge from smaller towns. He is known for his quick scoring ability in the lower order and an ability to play aggressive knocks. He now represents the Dhaka Division in the premier league.
Shuvagata played for many years in the minor leagues before a talent scout brought him to play in Dhaka. He represented Dhaka's first division side, Cricket Coaching School and played as a No. 3 batsman. He was instrumental in making sure that his club was promoted to the premier league in Dhaka.
Shuvagata played some fine knocks that brought him into the reckoning for the national squad. He was named in the provisional squad of 30 players for the 2011 World Cup. Shuvagata was selected for the tour of Zimbabwe after the WC and has acquitted himself well with some handy contributions. He scored 70 runs in 3 matches against them and played one other game against West Indies before being dropped. Since then he has been sidelined and has been overlooked even after some good performances in first-class cricket.
Career
Shuvagata made his first-class debut on 20 January 2010 in a
After the 2011 World Cup, Bangladesh faced Australia in a three-match ODI series. Shuvagata was drafted into the national squad for the first time.[6] He had to wait until Bangladesh's next series, five ODIs against Zimbabwe in August, before he made his debut. It was expected that Shuvagata would be introduced at the number four spot,[7] but instead on debut he batted at number six. Debuting in the third match, he scored 32 runs from 36 balls before he was run out.[8]
The
In 2016 he was added to Bangladesh's squad for the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 after Taskin Ahmed was suspended from bowling with an illegal action.[14]
Along with Sunzamul Islam, he was the joint-leading wicket-taker in the 2016–17 Bangladesh Cricket League, with a total of 25 dismissals.[15]
In October 2018, he was named in the squad for the
In April 2021, he was named in the Bangladesh's squad for 2-match test series against Sri Lanka after his consistent all-round performance in first-class cricket, since he last played 5 years ago against England in test in 2016.[19] Minhajul Abedin, the chief selector of Bangladesh national team said, ''Shuvagata is coming back after a while but he has been a consistent performer in first class cricket. We have considered him as a batting all-rounder but his off-break is pretty handy and gives us an option in the spin department."[20]
In Jan 2022,Twin centuries from Shuvagata Hom helped Walton Central Zone lift the trophy of the 2021-22 Bangabandhu Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL). They beat the BCB South Zone by four wickets in a thrilling encounter in the final of the tournament at the Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. It was their first BCL title in four years.
