“I withdraw my decision,” Ihsanullah told Geo Super television channel. “No franchise picked me and many people’s comments pushed me over the edge. I will work hard. There are four months left for the PSL. The people who didn’t pick me are the same people who will . select me in the future. I have no plans to retire.
Tareen told PK Press Club that Ihsanullah contacted him to apologize for the public criticism against him and thanked him again for his support during his rehabilitation. “I feel extremely sorry for Ihsanullah,” Tareen said. “He comes from a very poor family and when he came out he believed he would escape poverty, but because of the actions of the CPC medical staff he fears he will have to return to poverty. CPC actually washed hands off him, and it was me who asked PCB to let him play the recent Champions Cup T20 None of us can imagine what his state of mind must be.
Tareen said he assured Ihsanullah that he would keep him involved with the Sultans, who have a Tier 2 department, ensuring him a monthly income as he tries to regain fitness. But he defended his decision to leave Ihsanullah unselected in the draft, saying he did not think it was possible to select him in the recent draft because he was not ready to play the high level of cricket required by the PSL, by April.
The report stated that Ihsanullah was not adequately treated, cared for and operated on for his right elbow pain, and that he never received the formal rehabilitation process required by his condition. It also blamed Ihsanullah in part for “failure to comply with the prescribed rehabilitation plan”, while concluding that the plan itself was inadequate. He said Ihsanullah’s operation was “planned in haste”, without specialist examination or pre-operative assessment. He also said the surgeon recommended for the procedure “lacked academics and experience in the field,” calling the choice “inappropriate.”
At the time, he claimed that Ihsanullah’s return to cricket remained a distant future prospect. Earlier this month, in an unusually candid appearance on cricket podcast ‘Relukattay’, Tareen had said she had spoken to a world-renowned doctor in the UK about Ihsanullah’s injury. “It’s extremely sad,” he said. “He told us that there was so much scarring from his botched PCB surgery that his arm would never become completely straight. That no matter what he did, Ihsanullah’s arm would never be completely straight. cause of this scar.”
