Bashundhara Group introduced paddle tennis to Bangladesh when expatriate Nats Mate struggled with work stress after relocating from England to Dhaka. A colleague directed him to Bashundhara Sports City, where he rediscovered the sport he enjoyed back home. Notable players, such as former captain Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar, regularly use the courts. The facility rapidly expanded from two courts to fifteen within four months due to overwhelming demand.
Players appreciate the social networking opportunities and health benefits the sport provides. The enclosed courts combine elements of tennis and squash on a 20-meter by 10-meter surface. Evening slots book up quickly, with the 8 PM session requiring week-long advance reservations. Regular participants range from teenagers to seniors, creating a vibrant community atmosphere.
