Hom was drafted into the national squad for the first time.[5] He had to wait until Bangladesh's next series, five ODIs against Zimbabwe in August, before he made his debut. It was expected that Hom would be introduced at the number four spot,[6] but instead on debut he batted at number six. Debuting in the third match, he scored 32 runs from36 balls before he was run out.[7]
