What Hridoy said after becoming captain instead of Tamim. The sporting arena is set to resume its busyness from tomorrow, Sunday, after the Eid holidays.
From this day, the ninth round of the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) will begin. Tamim Iqbal, the captain of Mohammedan, will not be seen from this phase.
Mohammedan captain Tamim Iqbal practically withdrew from the tournament after suffering a heart attack while playing during Ramadan.
Before the game gets underway, the discussion revolves around who will take over as captain in Tamim's place. Discussions were ongoing about who would lead the star-studded Mohammedan team.
Finally, Towhid Hridoy has been appointed as the captain of Mohammedan. After taking charge, the new captain spoke to the media on Saturday.
There, Hridoy was saying, ‘Challenges are there in every sector, in your profession, in my profession too. So, I will try to enjoy it and try to contribute as much as I can to the team in this aspect.’ Tamim has stepped aside due to illness.
Many Mohammedan players will join the national team's practice camp soon. Regarding this, Hridoy said, ‘Firstly, this is not in our hands, we have to do everything from within what we have in our hands, what we have under control.
Our team has been a big-budget team from the beginning, and it still is.’ After Tamim's injury, Hridoy is seeing the whole thing as an opportunity for newcomers, ‘Maybe there are one or two players who are on and off.
There is a national team game, hopefully, it will be a positive sign for our backups. They are also players, they need opportunities.
We will try to ensure that whenever they get the opportunity, in whatever situation, they can make the most of it.’
