    Digital Desk: The Pakistan Cricket Board is not happy with leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed for not adhering to the medical panel's recommendations to recuperate from a possible nerve-related issue, which caused him to miss the entire Test series in Australia.

    Following consultation with the Pakistani team doctor, physiotherapist, and trainer, the medical panel of the Board presented a report to the PCB chairman detailing Abrar's negligent behavior during his rehabilitation process, which started during the World Cup in India last year.

    The Pakistan squad suffered greatly as a result of Abrar's negligence, as they were thrashed 3-0 by Australia, and the PCB is reportedly considering a censure or punishment for him.

    The spinner has been ruled out of the T20 series in New Zealand due to a potential sciatica issue, despite being included in the squad for the three Tests in Australia. He is being sent home by the team management.

    The sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back to the hips and buttocks and down each leg, can get irritated and cause nerve pain, or sciatica.

    "Abrar has been sent home to the National Cricket Academy, where he is staying at the academy and his rehabilitation process is now monitored daily by the staff there," a PCB official stated.

    Abrar reportedly complained of lower back pain during the team's stay in Hyderabad, India. The team sent him for a diagnosis, with the possibility that he had sciatica.

    Abrar was given instructions for a comprehensive rehabilitation program, daily workout regimen, and other guidelines.

    However, when he reported side soreness later in the World Cup, it was discovered that he had not been adhering to his rehabilitation schedule. The team management and physician then visited with him and gave him advice to follow his prescribed course of action.

    It was discovered that Abrar was neglecting his exercises and other aspects when the issue resurfaced during the four-day warm-up game in Canberra, Australia.
