How to define keys in evil mode command mode

Question

I'm trying to create a shortcut in command mode. Basically, by typing :bl, I want it to execute gud-break. I tried the following

(evil-define-key 'insert c-mode-map (kbd ":bl") 'gud-break)

However, it complains that bl is not defined. Is there something wrong in my key binding?

You speak of "command mode" yet use insert state. This isn't going to work. — wasamasa, Mar 1, 2018 at 18:09
@Dan Thanks for the tip, I tried (eval-after-load 'evil-ex '(evil-ex-define-cmd "bl" 'gud-break)) This works. — Dennis, Mar 1, 2018 at 18:32

The following creates the relevant evil ex command:

(eval-after-load 'evil-ex
  '(evil-ex-define-cmd "bl" 'gud-break))
