Ebadot Hossain to undergo knee surgery in the UK

Bangladesh fast bowler Ebadot Hossain will undergo knee surgery at the Cromwell Hospital in London today. The 29-year-old right-arm quick is suffering from a left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury sustained during last month’s ODI series against Afghanistan.

Bangladesh Cricket Board’s Senior Physician Dr Debashis Chowdhury provided this update on the pacer: “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.

“At this stage, we are not in a position to provide further details including the rehab process and expected timeframe for recovery. However, we are fully committed to helping and supporting the player in every way possible in his journey towards returning to cricket.”
