According to chief selector Minhajul Abedin, Bangladesh pacer Ebadot Hossain is likely to miss the ICC Twenty20 World Cup the following year as he continues to recover from knee surgery that was performed in August of last year.
In July, during the second One-Day International (ODI) of a three-match series against Afghanistan at home, the pacer sustained an ACL injury.
According to Minhajul, the injury that sidelined him during the ODI World Cup in October-November will likely also prevent him from participating in the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the United States in June of the following year.
“There is a possibility that Ebadot will return to action in the next domestic season which will begin with the first-class competition in the coming August or September,” according to the chief selector.
“He remains in rehabilitation.” He added, “It will be impossible for him to return prior to that time.”
Taskin Ahmed, an additional essential pacer for the national team who has been sidelined since the ODI World Cup, is expected to make his return to action in the Bangladesh Premier League, which commences next month, according to positive information relayed by Minhajul.
“Taskin is in good health and will begin the BPL,” the former captain of Bangladesh stated.
