PCB medical
panel responds to Tareen's claims on Ihsanullah's injury
LAHORE:
The Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) medical panel has issued a statement
addressing recent assertions made by Multan Sultans’ owner, Ali Tareen,
regarding fast bowler Ihsanullah's injury and subsequent treatment.
Ihsanullah,
who gained prominence in the previous Pakistan Super League season with his
impressive pace, sustained an elbow injury following the series against New
Zealand, leading to his absence from significant events such as the Asia Cup
and World Cup.
Tareen
disclosed that Ihsanullah's recovery was prolonged due to an initial
misinterpretation of his MRI report and an unsuccessful surgery conducted in
Lahore. However, Tareen acknowledged the PCB's cooperation in facilitating
assessments by specialists in the UK.
In
response,
PCB's Director of Medical and Sports Sciences, Dr. Sohail Saleem,
clarified that while there was a misinterpretation of the initial MRI report,
there was no misdiagnosis.
Dr.
Saleem emphasized the necessity of reevaluating the MRI in England, which
yielded different results than the initial assessment, obviating the need for
additional scans.
Furthermore,
Dr. Saleem outlined the typical recovery period for elbow injuries
post-surgery, ranging from nine to eighteen months. He assured that Ihsanullah
is undergoing proper care during rehabilitation and dismissed any allegations
of neglect.
Additionally,
Dr. Saleem underscored the significance of collaboration between PSL franchises
and the PCB for the well-being and recovery of players.
