The pacer will meet with an esteemed orthopaedic surgeon in Manchester
\nIslamabad
\nPakistan\u2019s fast bowler Ihsanullah has left for Manchester, England where he will meet with a renowned orthopaedic surgeon to assess the extent of his elbow injury, confirmed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Sunday.
\nIhsanullah, 21, has only represented Pakistan in five international matches, with his last appearance in match against New Zealand in April 2023.
\nIhsanullah\u2019s Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise, Multan Sultans, also collaborated with the PCB to ensure that their star pacer\u2019s treatment goes smoothly.
\n\u201cFast bowler Ihsanullah left for Manchester, England, on Sunday morning for his crucial appointment on Monday with esteemed orthopaedic surgeon, Professor Adam Watts, regarding his elbow injury. Professor Watts specialises in hand and wrist surgery, shoulder and elbow procedures, sports injuries, and trauma surgery,\u201d PCB said in a press release.
\n\u201cFurther updates will be provided by the PCB following Professor Watts\u2019 assessment and diagnosis.\u201d
\nRemember, Ihsanullah continued to do weight training after his initial injury which made things worse.
\nIt is worth mentioning that right before the commencement of PSL 9, Ihsanullah was training with Multan Sultans and in an interview with Geo News, confirmed that he was bowling at full pace.
\n\u201cThe rehabilitation after the elbow surgery went great, I have been bowling for the past 15 days,\u201d Ihsanullah had said. \u201cI\u2019m feeling way better than before, I tried to swing the ball with full pace during the practice sessions, and I was able to do it accurately.\u201d
\nWith Ihsanullah set to undergo treatment once again, there have been questions regarding the way the PCB has treated the pacer\u2019s injury even after it was initially misdiagnosed, as reported by ESPN Cricinfo earlier.
\nHowever, PCB\u2019s medical department head Dr Sohail Saleem confirmed that there was no mishandling in Ihsanullah\u2019s case.
\n\u201cThere was no mishandling in this case,\u201d Dr Saleem told ESPNcricinfo. \u201cI\u2019ll admit there was a delay [in the initial diagnosis], but no mishandling.
\n\u201cI said I wanted to get fresh tests conducted because I suspected it was more than just workload syndrome. It was diagnosed as such by the doctor who was previously here at the PCB, and not my team. A lab that gave us an MRI scan gave us an incorrect prognosis. I ordered the same scan again, and we picked the fracture up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
