As per a Hindustan Times report, the initial diagnosis provided by a senior doctor on the board’s medical panel resulted in wastage of time. As per the report, this process wasted time in rehabilitating the pacer without surgery.
“Mohsin Naqvi is very upset after this incident came out in the open and he came to know about it. Chances are that some of the officials responsible for supervising Ehsan’s treatment will find themselves out of jobs very soon,” the source said.
