LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has confirmed that the former board will investigate whether Ihsanullah was injured.
Renowned orthopedic surgeon Professor Adam Watts, 21, traveled to the UK earlier this month to be treated for an elbow injury, after which a decision will be made as to whether he needs surgery.
“PCB has decided to set up an independent medical board to analyze whether Ihsanullah’s medical case was solved properly by the board’s medical support team,” Naqvi said in an earlier statement on his official Twitter account.
While Ihsanullah is undergoing treatment again for the same injury, questions have also been raised about the pacer’s treatment after the PCB misdiagnosed the injury, as reported by ESPN Cricinfo earlier.
However, PCB chief medical officer Dr Sohail Saleem insisted that there was nothing wrong with Ihsanullah’s work.
“There is no mistake in this,” Dr Saleem told ESPNcricinfo. “I will admit that it was late in the initial diagnosis, but there was nothing wrong with it.
It was diagnosed by the doctor who was at PCB before, not my team. The lab that did the MRI gave us the wrong diagnosis, so I ordered another scan. and the fracture we got.”
On Pakistan note, Ihsanullah trained with Multan Sultans before the start of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 9 and confirmed that he is in full swing in an interview with Geo News.
