Bangladesh fast bowler Ebadot Hossain is highly likely to miss the Twenty20 World Cup as he has been in rehabilitation still following knee surgery in August.
The pace bowler, on whom Bangladesh heavily relied to give them stability in the middle overs, had picked up an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury in July during the second One Day International 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 the West Indies in June next year, appears to be in limbo, said chief selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu.
“From what I have known Ebadot is likely to return to action in the next domestic season which will begin with the first-class competition in the coming August or September,” Minhajul told reporters 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 the T20 World Cup, Bangladesh might feel relieved that another key pacer Taskin Ahmed, who was injured during the ODI World Cup, is now fit and will return to cricket with the Bangladesh Premier League.
“Taskin is fine at this moment. He will be back to cricket with the BPL,” he informed.
