The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that young star batter Saim Ayub will be flown to London for immediate medical treatment. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed the decision on Sunday, emphasizing the board’s commitment to ensuring Ayub’s full recovery.
Details of the Injury
The left-handed batter sustained the injury while fielding during the opening day of the second men’s cricket Test against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town. Ayub lost his balance while attempting to retrieve the ball, resulting in a severe ankle fracture. An MRI conducted later confirmed the extent of the injury, necessitating the immobilization of his ankle with a medical moon boot.
Medical Arrangements
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi personally contacted Ayub to extend his well-wishes and arranged for his treatment at a leading hospital in London. Renowned orthopedic specialists will evaluate Ayub, and an appointment has already been scheduled. The cricketer will be flown to London on the next available flight from Cape Town, accompanied by Assistant Coach Azhar Mahmood to ensure his comfort and well-being.
Dr. Mamreze, who has been overseeing Ayub’s treatment in Pakistan, has sent the cricketer’s medical reports to London for further evaluation.
PCB’s Commitment to Ayub’s Recovery
Naqvi praised Ayub’s talent and expressed his determination to provide the best possible care for the young cricketer. “Saim Ayub is a stylish and outstanding batter, and an asset to Pakistan cricket,” Naqvi stated. “We are doing everything possible to ensure his full recovery.”
Despite being sidelined for at least six weeks, Naqvi expressed optimism about Ayub’s participation in the upcoming Champions Trophy, which will be held in Pakistan.
Conclusion
Saim Ayub’s injury is a significant setback for both the player and the team, but the PCB’s proactive approach highlights its commitment to player welfare. The board’s efforts to ensure world-class treatment and rehabilitation underline the importance of Ayub’s role in Pakistan cricket. Fans and cricket enthusiasts across the country eagerly await his swift recovery and return to the field.
