Pakistan national cricket team captain Saim Ayub has been in the news over the past few days and the main reason behind it is the injury he suffered during the Test series against the South Africa national cricket team. The young player suffered an ankle injury, which kept him out of the second match.
Saim Ayoub was injured when he tried to save Al-Hudood, twisted his ankle, and was taken off the field. The opening batsman appeared to be in severe pain, and the batsman was then sent to London by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for a detailed medical assessment, especially with the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy looming.
Saim Ayub consulted the famous specialist Dr. Jeyaseelan in London, and the doctor advised a six-month rest for the mixture to allow complete recovery.
Assistant coach Azhar Mahmood traveled with Ayub to consult renowned specialist Dr. Jeyaseelan. The specialist doctor examined the young man who struck him, and then confirmed that the injury had stabilized. The club can carefully place its weight on the affected ankle.
Saim Ayoub's injury is serious, and it has been confirmed that the batsman has suffered a fracture. But in a positive development, no long-term damage was done to the dough. Dr Jayaselan has advised six months of rest for the batsman to allow full recovery, according to ARY News.
Saim Ayoub will undergo consultations with a committee of specialists in London
Ayoub will undergo consultations with a committee of specialists in London. He will also undergo some additional tests, including X-rays, to finalize his treatment plan. But if the PCB follows Dr Jeyaseelan's advice, the batsman will be ruled out of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
However, the PCB has not given any official statement yet. Although the batsman's inclusion in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy remains uncertain, the governing body will take the decision to include him in the squad based on further medical reviews and assessments.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi took personal interest in the injury of 'valuable asset' Saim Ayub
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi took personal interest in Ayub's injury. He has been ensuring that the young mixture gets proper treatment. He described the batsman as a “valuable asset” and stated that they would provide all the necessary resources for his rehabilitation.
Saim Ayub's absence will leave a huge void in the Pakistan national cricket team as the opening batsman has been in fantastic form. He has been going through the purple patch with the bat as he recently hit two buzzers in the ODI series against South Africa.
Ayoub then scored 14 points in the first half and followed that up with 27 points in the second half. But if he now fails to play in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, it will be a huge blow to the Pakistan national cricket team.
