Knee surgery puts Ebadot in doubt for World Cup

BSS, Dhaka :
Fast bowler Ebadot Hossain’s World Cup hopes looked all but ended in a huge blow for Bangladesh after it was decided that he would undergo a surgery for his knee injury, which had already ruled him out of the Asia Cup.

The 29-year-old right-arm quick bowler is suffering from a left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury which he sustained during last month’s ODI series against Afghanistan.

He underwent the operation at Cromwell Hospital in London on Wednesday.

Generally, it needs six months and a grueling rehab session to return to the field after any operations.

However, the extent of his injury forced the team management to decide for an operation.

“Ebadot consulted a knee specialist in London this week.

Upon extensive review of his condition, it was decided that Ebadot would undergo a LEFT ACL reconstruction and meniscal repair,” Bangladesh Cricket Board’s Senior Physician Dr Debashis Chowdhury provided the update on Ebadot.
