Ebadot Hossain has been ruled out of the third and final ODI against Afghanistan after suffering a knee injury during the second match on Saturday, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed on Saturday. 

The pacer fell over after feeling his knee during his run-up while bowling his final over and later limped off the ground along with the physio.

The team physio Muzadded Alpha Sany revealed that the injury was not a major one and he expects the pacer to recover in two weeks' time meaning Ebadot would miss both the T20Is.

"The MRI suggests that this is not a major injury. We expect him to recover in about two weeks' time. He will remain with the team as he does his rehab," he said.

The first T20I of the two-match series is scheduled on July 14, while the second game will take place on July 16. Both the matches will take place in Sylhet. 

The selectors however are yet to name his replacement for the third ODI.
