Bangladesh fast bowler Ebadot Hossain has been ruled out of the Squad ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup. The 29-year-old Right-Arm fast bowler sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during Bangladesh’s ODI series against Afghanistan last month. He will be replaced by 20-year-old uncapped pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib as Ebadot’s replacement.
BCB Chief Sports Physician Dr Debashis Chowdhury said:
“Ebadot had undergone six weeks of rehab following the injury. We have had multiple MRIs done during this time and the reports suggest that his ACL is still a concern and requires further management. Therefore, he misses out on the Asia Cup,”.
“Considering the importance of the Bangladesh team’s next major event, which is the ICC World Cup in October, the BCB is committed to exploring every safe medical option available for getting Ebadot back to full fitness and playing as early as possible, including consultation and treatment overseas.”
Revised Bangladesh squad for Asia Cup: Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Kumer Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim, Afif Hossain Dhrubo, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Nasum Ahmed, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Naim Sheikh, Shamim Hossain, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Tanzim Hasan Sakib
