In the squad for the series against Afghanistan, there was no place for wicketkeeper-batter Jaker Ali, who was in Bangladesh's squad for the home T20I series against Ireland.

On the other hand, Ebadot last played T20Is in the men's T20 World Cup in Australia last year after his debut during the format in Asia Cup in the UAE. He recently took a four-wicket haul against Afghanistan in the one-off Test match which Bangladesh won by a whopping 546 runs in Mirpur.

In the head-to-head record, Bangladesh have emerged victorious over Afghanistan only three times out of nine occasions. After the conclusion of this series, Bangladesh's next T20I assignment will be against New Zealand in December this year.
