Akhtar and three other players appeared before a four-member medical commission formed to assess the spate of injuries during Pakistan's 2-1 Test series loss to India in March-April. But Akhtar's injury, sustained after he fell in his follow through in the decisive Test at Rawalpindi, was seen as suspicious and was particularly inquired. "After the game, on 14th April 2004, the MRI scans showed no injury and subsequently other bone scans were done in Lahore which did show intense stress but the commission found the injury inconclusive," said PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan at a press conference in Lahore. Pakistan team members were also cautioned to show more commitment on the field. "We have not panicked after the defeat but the manner of abject surrender in the last Test was disgusting," said Khan. Pakistan lost by an innings and 131 runs on the fourth morning, handing India their first ever Test series win in Pakistan. "Subsequent scans on April 28 revealed damage around the 11th rib but there was no conclusive evidence that the injury was sustained during the Test or Akhtar was carrying an old injury." in-depth coverage > India-Pakistan Cricket Series 2004 > |
