Rubel was rested form the Tests to keep him fresh for the ODIs, according to coach Chandika Hathurusingha.
"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 'Daily Star'.
"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."
"I am good at the moment. I have recovered. There's nothing to worry, I won't say that I am not fully fit, but for a Test match one needs to have an extra amount of preparation," he explained.
Rubel said he hopes to make the Test team for the upcoming home series against South Africa.
"I wasn't selected for the Test match, but it's not as though I don't see a future for myself in this format of the game. I already have the South Africa Tests in my mind and I am going to do everything I can to be completely ready for that," said the pacer.
