Ebadot unlikely in T20 World Cup

Bangladesh fast bowler Ebadot Hossain is likely to miss the upcoming T20 World Cup to be held in the West Indies and the USA as he has been in rehabilitation still following a knee surgery in last August.

The speed star had picked up an ACL injury in July during the second ODI of a three-match series against Afghanistan at home.
The injury was key in forcing him out of the ODI World Cup in October-November and now his participation in T20 World Cup, which will be held in the USA and West Indies in June next year, appeared to be in limbo, said chief selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu.

"From what I have known that Ebadot is likely to return to the action in the next domestic season which will begin with the first-class competition in the coming August or September," Nannu told the reporters on Tuesday.

"He is still in rehab. So I don't think it will be possible for him to come back before that," he added.

While Ebadot will miss T20 World Cup, Bangladesh might feel relieved that another key pacer Taskin Ahmed, who was injured during ODI World Cup is now fit and will return to the cricket with the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

"Taskin is fine at this moment. He will be back to the cricket with the BPL," he informed.
