Ebadot's focus on consistency & rhythm

They played together in domestic cricket and know each other better than most as the three seamers Ebadot Hossain, Khaled Ahmed and Abu Jayed are all Sylhet natives. It would therefore be a unique experience for them if all three feature in a Test 11 when the first of three Tests between Bangladesh and New Zealand kicks off on the green-top of Seddon Park in Hamilton. It is however unlikely that the Sylhet trio will get the opportunity; it may instead be a toss-up between Ebadot and Jayed to complete a three-pronged pace attack.
