PCB chief medical officer resigns after shocking report over Ihsanullah's injury

The PCB's chief medical officer Dr Sohail Saleem has resigned to the board after a thorough investigation by an independent three-member Medical Committee revealed that he didn't "clinically diagnose and investigate" fast bowler Ihsanullah's injury in the initial stage. The three-member committee comprising Prof. Rana Dilawaiz Nadeem, Dr Mumraiz Naqshband and Prof. Javed Akram which was tasked to investigate the handling of Ihsanullah's injury has concluded that the pacer's right elbow pain was "not addressed, treated and operated appropriately". The committee held Dr Saleem responsible for the "delay in reaching the clinical diagnoses and investigations" and also mentioned that the Multan Sultans speedster "did not receive a formal rehabilitation process as required by his condition". Moreover, the committee has advised the 21-year-old fast bowler to undergo "aggressive physiotherapy and rehabilitation of right elbow and shoulder" and mentioned that surgery may be the last resort if he "does not recover in six to 12 months".
