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.”
