Not only this, Ihsanullah also played in the three-match T20 series against Afghanistan in Sharjah and he also participated in the two-match ODI series against New Zealand played at home. Ihsanullah suffered an elbow injury during the series against New Zealand, due to which the young fast bowler could not participate in the Asia Cup and ODI World Cup 2023. The most shocking thing was that the surgery on Ihsanullah’s injury was done wrong and it would still take a long time for him to recover completely. Let us tell you, Ihsanullah’s surgery was done in a private hospital in Lahore. According to PCB Insider, the initial diagnosis was made by a senior doctor on the PCB’s medical panel, wasting time in attempting his rehabilitation without surgery. Following the surgery, his PSL franchise Multan Sultans’ doctor determined that Ihsanullah needed to seek treatment from a specialist in the UK. Multan Sultans owner Ali Tareen appealed to the PCB to send Ihsanullah to London for surgery. Mohsin Naqvi did not like this decision at all. According to Mohsin Naqvi, the board officials and the medical panel should have treated the star fast bowler properly. The source made a big revelation According to News18, the source said, ‘Mohsin Naqvi is very upset after this incident came to light and he too has come to know about it. There is a possibility that Ihsanullah has not been treated properly and because of this some officers may be removed from their posts. Tareen also wrote on her official social media account that, ‘Ihsanullah was in rehab at NCA, Lahore. The young players are living in an apartment with their families. Multan Sultan is paying his entire expenses. We had retained him in PSL. We all knew that Ihsanullah was injured and he might have to spend time with the physio. We are leaving for England with him and there we will meet the world’s famous surgeon. Ihsanullah is currently at home because he wants to spend some time with his family.

PCB scared of Shaheen Afridi’s decision, immediately called emergency meeting; What will Babar do now?

The way Pakistan Cricket Board has made changes in the captaincy, the matter has become worse. Shaheen Shah Afridi (Photo Source: Twitter) Recently, big decisions have been taken in Pakistan Cricket Board and a different politics has taken birth. There was news that PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is not in support of former captain Shaheen Shah Afridi. Therefore, he removed Shaheen from the captaincy and handed over the captaincy of the team back to Babar Azam. Just a few days after such rumors started flying, a new twist has emerged in this story. Actually, Babar Azam has given a kind of ultimatum to the board regarding his desire to return as the captain of the T20 format. He has put a condition that he should be assured of being given the captaincy for all three formats. This development has given rise to a dispute between Shaheen Shah Afridi and the Pakistan Cricket Board. A statement was published on the official website of the PCB. Let’s see what was in it? “I will always cherish the memories and the opportunities given to me. As a team player, it is my duty to support our captain Babar Azam. I have played under his captaincy and I have nothing wrong with him except respect. I will try to help them. Off the field we are all one. Our aim is only one, to help Pakistan become the best team in the world.” After this press release, the problem of Pakistan’s captaincy became worse because Afridi has reportedly not given any such statement. According to the report he has called it fake. He was about to issue a statement on the matter, but the PCB immediately held an emergency meeting with him. It is believed that Afridi himself has expressed his disappointment at being removed from the captaincy without talking. He says that PCB is not even ready to talk to him. The way the board has made changes in the captaincy, the matter has become worse. Hopefully Naqvi and the PCB will work towards pacifying them and reducing the scope of any outrage over the entire incident.
