LAHORE: Pakistan fast bowler Ihsanullah has departed for Manchester, England to see a renowned orthopedic surgeon about his elbow injury, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Sunday.
Ihsanullah, who has featured for Pakistan in one ODI and four T20Is, suffered an elbow injury last year.
The 21-year-old has been out of action since playing for Pakistan in the ODI series against New Zealand at home last year in April.
“Fast bowler Ihsanullah left for Manchester, England, on Sunday morning for his crucial appointment on Monday with esteemed orthopedic surgeon, Professor Adam Watts, regarding his elbow injury,” PCB stated in a press release.
“Professor Watts specialises in hand and wrist surgery, shoulder and elbow procedures, sports injuries, and trauma surgery.

“Ihsanullah’s franchise, Multan Sultans, has collaborated with the PCB to secure this appointment.
“The PCB, as Ihsanullah’s parent body, will cover all expenses for his treatment and rehabilitation.
“Further updates will be provided by the PCB following Professor Watts’ assessment and diagnosis.”
Notably, the right-arm pacer was bowling in the nets ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine but could not receive the green signal from the medical team and was consequently ruled out of the entirety of the tournament.
Ihsanullah played a pivotal role in Sultans’ run to the final of last year’s edition as he ended up as the second-highest wicket-taker of the tournament, picking up 22 wickets in 13 matches.
