PCB responds to Shahid Afridi’s recent Allegations
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has responded to the recent claims of Shahid Afridi which was more of an allegation than a statement. The former captain had accused PCB of not providing medical & rehabilitation facilities to the players. Mr. Afridi, however, referred to Shaheen Shah Afridi’s ongoing recovery & rehabilitation process in London. That the fast bowler was taking the financial burden on his own.
While talking to a private channel, the former captain accused PCB of not providing any medical help to Shaheen Shah Afridi. “I arranged a doctor for Shaheen Shah Afridi & PCB is doing nothing.” The injured left-arm fast bowler was even ruled out of the T20 Asia cup too.
The cricket board responded but with a rather bold statement, not directly addressing the former captain though.
“It goes without saying that PCB has always been & will continue to be responsible for arranging medical care & rehabilitation of all its player’s requirements”. PCB apparently, came out with their stance on Fakhar Zaman’s injury. The all-rounder, got the injury in the final of Asia Cup 2022 while fielding. The cricket governing body will send the player to London for rehabilitation on Friday, Sep 16th.

“PCB will also make all the relevant logistics arrangements for the player so that he recovers soon”, added the cricket governing body. Even the fast bowler, Shaheen Shah Afridi is also under the supervision of the same specialists & medical experts.
