He has been called up to the Asia Cup T20 team as a reward. He may also make his debut in this format.

Speaking to reporters after his personal practice at Sher-e-Bangla in Mirpur on Tuesday, Ibadat told reporters about his goal for the Asia Cup. “The biggest thing is, I think, trying is one thing and I’ll do one thing. The effort of my life is over. I’ll do it, Inshallah, I will. Not playing well as a team, that doesn’t mean we can’t play T20s. We will soon become a good team, Insha Allah. You will pray for us. ’

Earlier, Ibadat did not get a chance to play matches in the team in several ODI series. After making a sudden debut in Zimbabwe, he got a call-up to the T20 team. Ibadat said, “I got the opportunity. It’s about bowling all day in Tests. In the shorter version like T20, you have to bowl with pace, since the wicket will be good, and the batters will be aggressive. The main thing is to plan and bowl. If we can restrict the bowlers to fewer runs, it becomes easier for the batsmen. ’
