Playing in just his third Test match, Towhid Hridoy registered his maiden Test half-century to provide a lone fightback for Bangladesh on Day 3 of the Sylhet Test against the West Indies on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Hridoy reached the milestone off 109 balls, earning a warm standing ovation from head coach Phil Simmons outside the dressing room.
Resuming Day 3 at 88/3 (Hridoy 29*, Mushfiqur 16*), Bangladesh sought to build on the overnight 4th-wicket stand. However, after extending the partnership to 73 runs, veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim (34) threw his wicket away by driving a flighted delivery from spinner Jomel Warrican round the wicket straight into the hands of Brandon King at short cover.
