The T20 World Cup 2024 is going on. The entire cricket fraternity is enjoying the thrilling tournament. Pakistan has made its exit right from the group stage. They had a forgettable tournament this time. After that massive setback, they are focusing on the future aspect. The Pakistan Cricket Board is currently awaiting updates on the fitness of four young fast bowlers. These players are seen as potential replacements for the national team in various game formats.
Focusing on the Bowlers’ Fitness:
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is eagerly awaiting updates on the fitness of four young fast bowlers, who are potential candidates for the national team across different formats. Among them are Ihsanullah, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Arshad Iqbal, and Zeeshan Zameer. They are currently undergoing rehabilitation or preparing for surgeries to address their injuries. Iqbal is scheduled for examination at a medical institute soon, while Zameer is due for surgery in Qatar next week following a recent review of his medical reports.
Ihsanullah, who debuted in international white-ball cricket last year, has had two elbow surgeries in Faisalabad and Lahore. After the initial rehabilitation phase at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, he is now recovering at home in Swat under the supervision of a PCB-approved physiotherapist. Meanwhile, Mohammad Wasim Jr, who missed selection for the T20 World Cup due to a back issue, is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the NCA and requires more time to recover fully.
Forming New Medical Team:
The PCB has appointed a medical team led by Prof Rana Dilawaiz Nadeem, Dr. Mumraiz Naqshband, and Prof Javed Akram to oversee and supervise the rehabilitation and recovery treatments of these players. This team has been tasked with closely monitoring and ensuring the best possible care for the injured bowlers, aiming to facilitate their full recovery and eventual return to cricketing fitness.
Pakistan registered a forgettable performance in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. Since the beginning of the tournament, they struggled with their form which cost big. Out of four matches, they registered only one victory. Babar Azam, who was re-appointed as the captain, failed to provide the team their desired success. Now the Pakistan Cricket Board is moving their concentration over the future.
