Eight months ago, curator Tony Hemming parted ways with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) while still having a year left on his two-year contract, expressing dissatisfaction at some of the incidents during his short tenure.   

The renowned curator was hired by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in the very next week on a two-year contract.

Considering Tony's reputation as a leading curator and the way his previous tenure ended in Bangladesh, it is very unlikely that the Australian will rejoin the BCB any time soon.

Still, during a lengthy discussion with a few Bangladeshi journalists in Rawalpindi, Tony was asked whether he plans to return to Bangladesh anytime soon.

His reply stunned everyone.

"I have to [return to Bangladesh]… I adopted a daughter in Bangladesh," Tony came up with this unexpected reply.

"She is in Sylhet. She is not young, she is 20, she works in a hotel," he continued, detailing how this unique bond was formed.

"I stayed in Sylhet for a period of like three weeks, preparing a Test wicket. We were talking every day at breakfast. She told me she was an orphan and was raised without parents. Her manager was an orphan also. The orphanage recruits' orphans to work at the hotel, to promote them and to give them an opportunity.

"I missed my daughter in Melbourne, because she is grown up and I don't hear much from her… So, I just sort of had this feeling that I want to help her," he said, and also described the many ways he has helped his Bangladeshi daughter.

"I helped her get a passport, helped her financially, and you know, it's literally all I've done. It's just encouragement, you know. It's just to say good morning every day, if you need anything let me know, if you're in trouble let me know, that's all there is to it.

"I don't need to [get documentation]. If they are over 18, legally, there is no problem. It's like an uncle thing, you know. It's just helping someone. The same in Pakistan, you come across people, you see that they are genuine, you see that they are struggling, I feel blessed about the things that I've been doing now," Tony said, who also has four children from two marriages.
