Shuvagoto Hom Chowdhury is a Bangladeshi cricketer. A right-handed batsman, he represents Dhaka Division in first-class and list A cricket and Rajshahi Division in twenty20 matches. He made his One Day International (ODI) debut for Bangladesh in 2011 against Zimbabwe. He made his Test match debut against the West Indies in September 2014. He made his Twenty20 International debut for Bangladesh against Zimbabwe on 15 January 2016.[1]

Born on November 11, 1986, Hom is a right handed batsman who also bowls occasional medium pace. Hom is one of the several Bangladesh players to emerge from smaller towns. He is known for his solid technique and an ability to play aggressive knocks. He now represents the Dhaka division in the premier league.

Hom 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.

Hom 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. Hom 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.

Hom played for Barisal Burners in the Bangladesh Premier League.

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.[2] 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.[3] 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.[4] Dhaka were runners-up and Hom played three of his team's nine matches, scoring 318 runs including two centuries.[5]

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.[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 Hom 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 Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) founded the six-team Bangladesh Premier League in 2012, a twenty20 tournament to be held in February that year.[9] An auction was held for teams to buy players,[10] and Hom was bought by the Sylhet Royals for $80,000.[11] He scored 55 runs from 6 innings in the competition.[12] In April the BCB awarded Hom with a rookie contract.[13]
