Bangladesh cheered at the news of the naturalization of a player who played until the English Premier League (EPL).
Britain's The Sun reported on the 21st (Korea time) that Hamza Chowdhury, who played for England's U-21 (under 21), received a national heroic donation ahead of his debut in Bangladesh.
The Sun added 'Cho Woo-duri played as a key player in England's Under-21 national team with good performance and tackle skills in the past. However, he later had difficulty joining the England A team and decided to change his nationality to his mother's country. He had visited Bangladesh regularly since childhood. In December last year, the official change was decided through FIFA. Now, he has been called up to make his debut for the Bangladesh national team ahead of the A-match in March.

Choi Woo-duri joined Leicester City's youth team in 2011 and is still a Leicester player. Chaudhury, who continued to gain experience on the English stage, did not leave England despite being loaned to Watford and Sheffield. From the 2017-2018 season, Cho Woo-duri also appeared on the EPL stage. He also showed competitiveness in England by showing excellent activity, tackle, and positional digestibility. He played 205 games in England alone, including the EPL.
Cho Woo-duri, who continued to play for Leicester, was able to join the Bangladesh national team because his mother was Bengali at first. He also played in England's age-specific national team, but he had no choice but to give up joining the A team because it was a needle hole, and he began to consider joining the Bangladesh national team, a new option. Since then, Chowdhury chose to join the Bangladesh national team in December last year, signaling that he would join the Bangladesh national team.

The huge crowd filmed him and even blew up the flames,' he said, explaining how Bangladeshi fans welcomed Cha Woo-duri.
Bangladesh, joined by Chaudhury, will play the first round of the third Asian Cup qualifying match against India on the 25th. Chow Doo-ri's debut for the Bangladesh national team is also expected to take place in the match.
