“Ebadot has sustained a ligament injury in his left leg due to a sprain. Consequently, he will not be able to take part in the forthcoming Asia Cup. We have promptly forwarded this report to the team management,” explained Debashish.

Ebadot suffered the left leg injury during the second One Day International match against Afghanistan last month. This injury led to his subsequent exclusion from the T20I series against the same opponents. Since the initiation of the national team’s Asia Cup camp, Ebadot has been actively involved in rehabilitation efforts.

On Monday, the 29-year-old once again experienced discomfort in his left leg. While sources indicate that the BCB is not actively seeking a replacement for Ebadot, given the presence of four other pacers comprising the Tigers’ pace unit, there is consideration for introducing a fresh face to nurture and groom. In this context, the promising pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib, who made an impressive impact in the recently concluded Emerging Asia Cup, is under consideration as a potential inclusion.
