Lahore, Pakistani cricketers Abrar Ahmed and Khurram Shahzad have commenced their rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore. They are being overseen by the medical panel, led by Dr. Sohail Saleem. This rehabilitation process is crucial for their recovery from recent injuries sustained during cricket matches.

According to Pakistan Cricket Board, 25-year-old right-arm spinner Abrar Ahmed, who has played in six Test matches for Pakistan, returned from Australia earlier this month after experiencing pain in his right leg. The injury occurred during a first-class game against the Prime Minister XI in Canberra, prior to the three-Test series against Australia. Additionally, 24-year-old right-arm fast bowler Khurram Shahzad is recovering from a stress fracture incurred after playing in the first Test against Australia in Perth.

The PCB also provided an update on all-rounder Shadab Khan, who suffered an ankle injury during the recent National T20 Tournament. Following a five-week rehabilitation program at the National Cricket Academy, Shadab Khan has been declared fit by the medical team.

Dr. Sohail Saleem, Director of Medical and Sports Sciences, expressed satisfaction with Shadab Khan’s recovery and the commencement of rehabilitation for Abrar and Khurram. He stated that upon their arrival at the NCA, both players underwent mandatory testing to assess the nature of their injuries. A specific rehabilitation plan has been formulated for them, which they will follow under the close supervision of the medical team.

The rehabilitation of these players at the NCA signifies the Pakistan Cricket Board’s commitment to ensuring the health and fitness of its cricketers, preparing them for future matches and tournaments.
