The 30-year old batsman replaced wicketkeeper Manvinder Bisla; before Bisla, Abahani had acquired the services of wicketkeeper Uday Kaul.
Tiwary began his DPL career with 40 off 50 balls against Kalabagan Cricket Academy in Fatullah on Monday. Abahani Limited, captained by Tamim Iqbal, and also featuring big names such as Taskin Ahmed and Litton Das, have managed to win only three out of six matches in the List-A tournament and are firmly placed in the bottom half of the standings, at 7th.
Indian players are not strangers to the DPL, but this season there has been a significant number of signings. Brothers Union recruited Milind Kumar, the Saxena brothers Jatin and Jalaj are playing for Kalabagan and Legends of Rupganj respectively, and Prime Bank Cricket Club signed Sachin Rana, who was making his debut along with Tiwary in the current round of matches. Each team is allowed only one overseas player in the XI, but they can register as many as they want to be part of the squad.
Some of the other Indians who have played in the Dhaka League are Raman Lamba, Yuvraj Singh, Ajay Jadeja, Arun Lal, Ashok Malhotra, Iqbal Abdulla, Rajat Bhatia, Chetan Sharma, Sanjeev Sharma, Rohan Gavaskar, Amol Muzumdar and Aakash Chopra.
Some of the Sri Lankan international cricketers like Upul Tharanga and Chamara Kapugedara are also part of various franchisees in the DPL.
