Bangladesh’s Tawhid Hridoy has been handed a four-match ban in the Dhaka Premier League after another disciplinary breach, following repeated misconduct and failure to attend a post-match hearing. His behavior raises serious concerns about his cricketing discipline and future.
Repeated Misconduct Puts Young Cricketer’s Career in Jeopardy
The career of young Bangladeshi cricketer Tawhid Hridoy has been marred by a series of disciplinary issues. Recently, Hridoy once again found himself at the center of controversy due to his behavior both on and off the field. His latest misconduct occurred during a match in the Dhaka Premier League (DPL), where he was fined and banned following an altercation with the umpire.
Previous Disciplinary Issues
This isn’t the first time Hridoy’s actions have caused problems. Earlier in the current DPL season, he was banned for two matches after misbehaving with an umpire. The incident sparked criticism and discussion within the cricket world, and he was warned at that time that any further misconduct would result in more severe punishment. Despite this warning, Hridoy’s behavior seemed to worsen, and he soon found himself in trouble once again.
What Happened in the Latest Incident?
In Saturday’s match between Mohammedan and Gazi Group Cricketers, Hridoy was involved in another controversial incident. After being dismissed by bowler Wasi Siddiqui, Hridoy refused to leave the field immediately, as required by the rules. He stood at the wicket for a long time, ignoring the umpire’s decision. Although the opposing team celebrated his dismissal, Hridoy’s refusal to leave the pitch created an uncomfortable situation.
This behavior, which blatantly ignored the rules and regulations of the game, is considered a serious violation under the ICC Code of Conduct. Such actions not only disrupt the flow of the game but also undermine the authority of match officials.
Fine and Demerit Points
As a result of his actions, Hridoy was fined Tk 10,000 and given an additional demerit point. The match referee, Abhi Abdullah Al Noman, confirmed that this penalty was issued after Hridoy also failed to attend a hearing scheduled after the match. Noman stated that both Hridoy’s protest against the umpire’s decision and his failure to appear at the hearing were considered disciplinary violations.
Hridoy’s demerit points now total 8, which places him on the verge of a four-match ban. According to the DPL rules, any player who accumulates between 8 and 11 demerit points is automatically banned for four matches. This could have serious consequences for Hridoy’s team, Mohammedan, especially as the club is in the middle of a tight title race.
Potential Impact on Mohammedan’s Title Bid
Hridoy’s potential four-match ban could be a significant blow to Mohammedan’s title hopes in the DPL. With crucial matches remaining, including a vital one against Abahani, Hridoy’s absence could impact the team’s performance. His disciplinary record and the possibility of missing upcoming matches raise concerns about his future with both his club and the national team.
The DPL authorities will review the match referee’s report and make the final decision on whether Hridoy will receive a four-match ban. There is also the possibility that Hridoy could appeal the decision and have the penalty reduced, but it remains unclear what outcome will unfold.
Hridoy’s Disciplinary Record and Future in Doubt
Hridoy’s continued disciplinary issues raise serious questions about his professionalism, especially for someone who is seen as a potential future star for the Bangladesh national team. Despite calls from the country’s cricket board, coaching staff, and senior players to correct his behavior, Hridoy has continued to make the same mistakes. His repeated misconduct is becoming a concern, not just for his personal growth but for the broader image of Bangladesh cricket.
As a young and talented cricketer, Hridoy has the potential to achieve great things on the international stage. However, his behavior on and off the field must improve if he hopes to fulfill that potential. The Bangladesh cricket board and his team must now focus on guiding him to correct his actions before his career faces further setbacks.
The Need for Better Discipline in Bangladeshi Cricket
This incident underscores the importance of instilling discipline among young cricketers, particularly those with talent and potential like Tawhid Hridoy. It is clear that talent alone is not enough to succeed at the highest level of international cricket. Players must also demonstrate professionalism, respect for the game, and the ability to handle pressure both on and off the field.
As for Hridoy, his future depends on his ability to learn from these mistakes and show that he can be trusted to represent both his club and his country with respect and discipline.
