Pakistan Cricket Board chief Mohsin Naqvi is reportedly upset with the handling of pacer Ehsanullah’s injury. After grabbing eyeballs in the PSL, the 21-year-old pacer went on to play three T20Is against Afghanistan and two ODIs against New Zealand. However, an elbow injury sidelined him for the Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup in 2023.
PCB chief upset with board’s handling of pacer’s injury
As per Hindustan Times, the initial diagnosis provided by a senior doctor on the board’s medical panel resulted in wastage of time. As per the report, this process wasted time in rehabilitating the pacer without surgery.
He underwent a botched up surgery at a private hospital in Lahore following which officials from Multan Sultans decided that he needed to consult a specialist from UK.
“Mohsin Naqvi is very upset after this incident came out in the open and he came to know about it. Chances are that some of the officials responsible for supervising Ehsan’s treatment will find themselves out of jobs very soon,” the source said.
