Bangladesh Cricket Board official said on Wednesday that apart from Test skipper Shakib al Hasan longer-version pacer Ebadat Hossain and opener Sadman Islam will miss the second phase of National Cricket League.
The national stalwarts will get their last crack for the Test series in India as the second round of the 21st NCL, country’s traditional first-class tournament that kicks off tomorrow with four matches at different venues across the country.
Shakib al Hasan will miss the next round as he just returned from the Caribbean Premier League on Wednesday while pacer Ebadat Hossain and opener Sadman Islam had been allowed to skip the next phase of NCL for personal reasons.
Ebadat was granted leave by the team management as he wanted to rest after bowling quite a few amount of overs in the just concluded tour of Sri Lanka with Bangladesh A while Sadman Islam had applied for leave as his mother is expected to be operated shortly.
Ebadat have bowled quite a few overs in the Sri Lanka tour with Bangladesh ‘A’and wanted some rest. We felt he requires some rest so he is not playing in the upcoming round,’’ selector Habibul Bashar told Cricfrenzy.
‘’Sadman’s mother will be operated and he wanted to be beside her during this time. It’s a humanitarian cause and we felt he should be beside her mother during this time,’’ he said.
