Roy, a celebrated name in T20 cricket, will don the Dhaka Capitals jersey this season. With opener Saim Ayub unavailable, Dhaka's top order has appeared unsettled, but Roy’s inclusion is expected to bring much-needed stability and firepower.

Additionally, Dhaka has signed domestic all-rounder Mosaddek Hossain, who went unsold in the players’ draft.

Despite these reinforcements, Dhaka Capitals are struggling, having lost all three of their matches so far and sitting at the bottom of the points table in 7th place.

Their next challenge is against table-toppers Rangpur Riders on January 7, where they will look to secure their first win of the season.
