Ebadot fails to bag ‘ICC Player of the Month’ award

Ebadot Hossain failed to join Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim as he lost the battle to South Africa’s Keegan Petersen in winning the ICC Player of the Month.

Ebadot claimed six for 46 in the second innings of the first Test to script Bangladesh’s eight-wicket win which was also Tigers first ever win on New Zealand soil.

South African batter Keegan Petersen was a sensation during the home Test series against India. He helped the Proteas register a series win at home against the Indian side, his runs helping lay the foundation as South Africa bounced back from 0-1 down to claim the series 2-1.

Petersen played gritty knocks from No.3, amassing 244 runs during the series at an average of 61, making him also the Player of the Series.

From Bangladesh so far Shakib and Mushfiqur won the ICC Player of the Month award, while Nasum, Nahida Akter and Ebadot failed to emulate their feat.
