Career

Hom made his first-class debut on 20 January 2010 in a National League match for Dhaka against Barisal. Dhaka batted once in the match and coming in at number seven Hom scored 52 runs from 82 balls.[1] During a warm-up match against a touring England side in March 2010, Hom scored 91 runs from 30 balls for Bangladesh A from the bowling of Alastair Cook and Michael Carberry as England enticed his side to declare.[2] Hom scored his maiden century in October 2010, during the opening match of the National Cricket League against Khulna Division. Hom scored 105 runs from 203 balls as the match ended in a draw.[3] Dhaka were runners-up and Hom played three of his team's nine matches, scoring 318 runs including two centuries.[4]

After a disappointing World Cup, in which Bangladesh failed to progress beyond the group stage, Bangladesh faced Australia in a three-match ODI series. 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 from 36 balls before he was run out.[7]

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) founded the six-team Bangladesh Premier League in 2012, a twenty20 tournament to be held in February that year.[8] An auction was held for teams to buy players,[9] and Hom was bought by the Sylhet Royals for $80,000.[10] He scored 55 runs from 6 innings in the competition.[11] In April the BCB awarded Hom with a rookie contract.[12]
