The Bangladesh cricket team has suffered a setback as fast bowler Ebadot Hossain has been ruled out of the upcoming ODI match and then the T20I series against Afghanistan due to a left knee injury.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the news on Sunday.
Ebadot sustained the injury during the second ODI match against Afghanistan, which took place on Saturday.
An MRI scan revealed that the injury is not major, but it will require a recovery period of approximately two weeks, according to team physio Muzadded Alpha Sany.
Regarding the injury, Sany stated, "The MRI suggests that this is not a major injury. We expect him to recover in about two weeks. He will remain with the team as he undergoes rehabilitation."
Bangladesh has faced defeat in both ODIs played against Afghanistan in the ongoing series, marking Afghanistan's first-ever ODI series win against Bangladesh. On July 11th, Bangladesh will take the field, aiming to avoid a clean sweep.
