The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday revealed that an independent three-member Medical Committee, comprising Rana Dilawaiz Nadeem, Mumraiz Naqshband and Javed Akram, has been tasked with reviewing the handling of fast bowler Ihsanullah\u2019s right elbow injury and recommending next steps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIhsanullah should continue with aggressive physiotherapy and rehabilitation of right elbow and shoulder. Surgery may be the last option if he does not recover in six to 12 months,\u201d said the report.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In addition to recommending the treatment plan, the Medical Committee has also identified and highlighted delays in the diagnosis of Ihsanullah\u2019s injury and inappropriate prescription of treatment, as well as non-compliance by the fast bowler with the prescribed rehabilitation plan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ihsanullah sustained an elbow injury in April 2023 during Pakistan\u2019s white-ball series against New Zealand and has been out of action since then.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, PCB's Director of Medical and Sports Sciences, Sohail Saleem has tendered his resignation, which has been accepted by the PCB.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe committee concludes that Ihsanullah\u2019s condition of right elbow pain was not addressed, treated and operated appropriately. There was a delay in reaching the clinical diagnoses and investigations. He did not receive a formal rehabilitation process as required by his condition,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHis surgery was planned hurriedly without any specialist review and preoperative assessment,\u201d the report further added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Furthermore, the Medical Committee also conducted reviews on the cases of Arshad Iqbal, Zeeshan Zameer, and women\u2019s cricketer Shawal Zulfikar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Regarding Arshad, the committee recommended a two-month rehabilitation programme, while for Zeeshan, the committee suggested the bowler undergo examination by a foot and ankle specialist. As for Shawal, the committee suggested conducting a CT scan of her right shoulder before proposing any further course of action.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcb-panel-wants-ihsanullah-to-undergo-an-intense-rehabilitation-plan-post-elbow-injury.jpeg", "alt_img": "PCB panel wants Ihsanullah to undergo an intense rehabilitation plan post-elbow injury", "alt_title": "Pakistan fast-bowler Ihsanullah flies to Manchester for elbow injury-related treatment", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "PCB Panel Wants Ihsanullah To Undergo An Intense Rehabilitation Plan Post-elbow Injury On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "PCB Panel Wants Ihsanullah To Undergo An Intense Rehabilitation Plan Post-elbow Injury, The Pakistan Cricket Board: Pakistan\u2019s fast bowler Ihsanullah will be out of action for the next six to 12 months.", "seo_keywords": "The Pakistan Cricket Board, Medical Committee, Rana Dilawaiz Nadeem, Mumraiz Naqshband, Javed Akram, New Zealand, Sports Sciences, Sohail Saleem, Arshad Iqbal, Zeeshan Zameer, Shawal Zulfikar, Regarding Arshad", "tag": "", "tagging": "The Pakistan Cricket Board, Medical Committee, Rana Dilawaiz Nadeem, Mumraiz Naqshband, Javed Akram, New Zealand, Sports Sciences, Sohail Saleem, Arshad Iqbal, Zeeshan Zameer, Shawal Zulfikar, Regarding Arshad", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "pcb-panel-wants-ihsanullah-to-undergo-an-intense-rehabilitation-plan-post-elbow-injury", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1059", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-05-02 20:36:05", "updated": "2024-05-02 20:36:05", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "The Pakistan Cricket Board, Medical Committee, Rana Dilawaiz Nadeem, Mumraiz Naqshband, Javed Akram, New Zealand, Sports Sciences, Sohail Saleem, Arshad Iqbal, Zeeshan Zameer, Shawal Zulfikar, Regarding Arshad", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-05-02 20:36:05", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/pcb-panel-wants-ihsanullah-to-undergo-an-intense-rehabilitation-plan-post-elbow-injury-143839" }
