Bowe opts to play in glasses rather than contact lenses in the field. Due to this and a good debut match, he was affectionately nicknamed "cricket's Harry Potter" by fans, later adopting the nickname "The Wizard". This nickname, as well as the use of his glasses, saw him established as a cult hero immediately after his debut.[3]
