The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued an injury update on four young pacers currently being managed by the PCB Medical Panel, which includes Prof. Rana Dilawaiz Nadeem, Dr. Mumraiz Naqshband, and Prof. Javed Akram.

Arshad Iqbal, a right-arm fast bowler recovering from an ankle injury, has been referred to ASPETAR in Qatar, a prestigious orthopedic and sports medicine hospital. His appointment and travel arrangements will be made after the Eid Al Adha holidays.

Ihsanullah, another right-arm fast bowler, is recuperating from a right elbow injury. He began his initial rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and will continue his recovery in Swat, his hometown, under the supervision of a physiotherapist approved by the PCB Medical Panel.

All-rounder Mohammad Wasim Jnr, who injured his back during a domestic tournament, is also undergoing rehabilitation at the NCA. He will return to the NCA to continue his rehabilitation after the Eid Al Adha holidays.

Zeeshan Zameer, another right-arm fast bowler with an ankle injury, is scheduled to undergo surgery in Qatar next week. ASPETAR made this decision earlier this month after reviewing his medical reports. Post-surgery, Zeeshan may stay in Qatar to complete his rehabilitation.
