Pakistan's mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed got injured during Australia's Test tour and a medical report revealed that the 25-year-old's injury was a result of constant negligence of the medical panel's instruction.
Abrar did not follow the instructions of the doctors to get rid of the injury, due to which he could not play any match on the tour of Australia, as per the medical report available with Geo News.
It was revealed in the report that he has Sciatica — a condition that includes pain, numbness, or tingling in the leg.
As per the report, Abrar first complained of pain in his right hip during the ICC World Cup 2023 in India. He was tested immediately after which he was diagnosed with Sciatica.
Upon diagnosing, the medical staff prepared a plan for the spinner to recover from the injury in which he was instructed to follow the restrictions on various exercises and drills.
The report stated that the 25-year-old did not follow the instructions after which the team management, once again, urged the spinner to follow the commands of the medical panel but nothing changed.
As per the report, Abrar got injured in Australia during the practice match against Prime Minister XI for the same reason and was then ruled out of the series completely.
Abrar bowled a total of 27 overs during the four-day practice match against the PM XI where he also picked up a wicket. At the end of the third day, he complained about feeling some discomfort in his right leg for which the MRI was done.
After some days, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that the 25-year-old will miss the first two Test but prior to the commencement of the Sydney Test, Abrar was ruled out of the last match as well.
Abrar is currently continuing his rehab at Lahore's National Cricket Academy (NCA) and will miss Pakistan’s five-match T20I series against New Zealand which will begin on January 12 in Auckland.
