LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja has pledged to build a world-class rehabilitation centre in Pakistan for all the athletes of the country. 

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, the PCB chairman announced that the board would establish a world-class rehab facility in the country which would be open to all the national athletes and not just the cricketers.

The initiative is intended to benefit many national athletes in the future as they presently have to travel abroad for injury rehabilitation.

With national cricketers Shaheen Afridi and Fakhar Zaman completing their recoveries, Chairman PCB also expressed gratitude to Dr Zafar and his team, who looked after them in London.

“A big shout out to Dr Zafar & his team at Crystal Palace Football Club for looking after our heroes Fakhar and Afridi. Indebted! To our fans we will set up a world class rehab centre here inshallah that will look after all athletes & not cricketers only.” wrote Ramiz on Twitter.

Earlier on Tuesday, PCB  confirmed that the left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi has attained complete recovery and will be available for selection in the side’s warm-up matches of the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2022.
