Speaking to the media Ebadot said he was happy about his surprise call-up into the ODI squad. He also said that his side should not be defined as a bad team for "one bad game".
“Alhamdulillah, first of all, I want to thank Allah. It is a little surprising to get a call in ODIs. Really happy. If I get an opportunity there, I will try to make use of it,” said Ebadot.
“Of course not. As an ODI team, we play very well. One or two matches does not make us a bad as team. Alhamdulillah, we are good enough as a team. There are two more matches, if we win two matches the series will be ours,” he added.
Right-handed batter Liton Das has been ruled out of the ongoing ODI series after sustaining a hamstring injury during the first ODI.
Mushfiqur Rahim and pacer Shoriful Islam have also incurred minor injuries, however, BCB physio said that their availability is subject to fitness.
