Rubel determined to impress in ODIs

 Pacer Rubel Hossain admitted his disappointment after being left out of Bangladesh’s Test team against India but said it has made him more determined to put in a stellar performance in the upcoming One-Day International (ODI) series, beginning June 18.

Rubel, according to coach Chandika Hathurusingha, was rested to keep him fresh and fit for the ODIs after he had a gruelling series against Pakistan. Bangladesh <g data-gr-id="15">are</g> currently playing India in a one-off Test match. “Bangladesh does not get to play too many Tests, so obviously I am a little disappointed to miss out. But there’s nothing I can do now. All I am looking forward to is the ODI series,” Rubel was quoted as saying by the dailystar.net on Friday.

“I want to be completely ready and match-fit by the time the ODIs begin. I really want to put in a good performance against India.”
