PCB Likely To Take Action Against Leg-Spinner For Not Following Medical Instructions
Pakistan leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed was absent for the entire AUS vs PAK Test series due to ongoing rehabilitation for a suspected nerve-related issue. He has also ruled NZ vs PAK T20 series.
According to a PTI report, the Pakistan Cricket Board has expressed dissatisfaction with leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed for not adhering to the instructions provided by the medical panel regarding his rehabilitation.
The report in PTI suggests that Pakistan Cricket Board is considering some form of reprimand or punishment for Abrar due to his perceived negligence.
Abrar's alleged carelessness had significant consequences as the absence of the leg-spinner's services contributed to Pakistan's 3-0 whitewash by Australia.
Abrar Ahmed initially reported pain in his lower side, indicating a suspected sciatica issue, during Pakistan's time in Hyderabad, India. He was provided with a comprehensive rehabilitation program, including daily exercises and other instructions.
However, during the World Cup, when Abrar Ahmed experienced side pain once more, it was discovered that he wasn't adhering to his rehabilitation program as instructed.
The problem resurfaced during the four-day warm-up game in Canberra, Australia, and it was revealed that Abrar had been neglecting his exercises and other prescribed details.
