Getting some extra bounce -- that’s what Bangladesh pacers were seemingly after during their previous Test tour of the West Indies in 2022.
Pacer Ebadot Hossain is set to return to competitive cricket after 16 months when he represents league-leaders Sylhet Division in a fourth-round match of the National Cricket League against Khulna Division at the Sheikh Kamal International Cricket Stadium Academy Ground in Cox’s Bazar tomorrow.
Nahid Rana stunned the cricketing world with his raw pace during Bangladesh’s historic 2-0 Test series triumph over hosts Pakistan, clocking over 150 kmph while also claiming his career-best figures in the second Test. Even though Bangladesh cricket has been reaping the benefits of forming a potent pace group across formats in recent years, the factors behind the emergence of talented quicks have not been focused on a large scale. The Test series triumph against Pakistan in Rawalpindi would not have materialised if pacers like Hasan Mahmud, Nahid, Shoriful Islam, and Taskin Ahmed had not outshone the quicks of Pakistan -- a country historically known as the ‘land of pacers’.

Here are the excerpts:
"Taskin and I have tried together to build this group in a way in which we can be examples for the next generation of bowlers so that they can elevate the standards even higher," said Ebadot.
“He is still in rehab. It won’t be possible for him to come back before that,” said Minhajul
From a team that only ever tried to ‘spin to win’, Bangladesh have now evolved into a pace-centric attack heading into the ICC World Cup in India.
Bangladesh pacer Ebadot Hossain is out of the upcoming ODI World Cup as the pacer goes under the knife in the UK today for an injury that has already seen him out of the Asia Cup, beginning today.
