His knees were ruined. PCB apparently did not spent for his medical needs and he was managed by a traditional healer, as usual they do, has ****ed the condition up. When he came back for that test (and hastily brought back) he was only a shadow of his former self. Later when he moved to England, he did receive some quality care, and was doing well for his county. Certain time I think he was very close to selection for English team as well. If it would have happened, that would have been epic.
Yeah PCB was terrible with injury management in the 90's Mohammad Zahid was another completely destroyed by PCB lack of medical care even Waqar was half the bowler once he came back from his 2nd stress fracture he may have challenged Marshall for the best ever fast bowler tag had his injury been better managed.

This is the reason I have much respect for Akhtar he lies a lot but i totally agree with him that he ensured that no PCB appointed doctor was allowed to get near him because he knew if he let's them take over his career would be finished he spent millions on his own to get treatment independently

Pakistani's can always visit Sri Lanka for medical care. SLC has pretty good doctors who will know what they can do and when it needs to be referred.

assuming its test cricket other why the **** swann , Swann outside Asia ( succeded pretty much everywhere except Australia ) , Jadeja Inside Asia ( even though Swann was a banger in Asia with 26 average ).

Saqlain comes third , averaging 35+ in SENAW , Lyon the last , not a bad bowler but just not as good from what I've seen of all.
bruh lmao I accidently said " why the **** swann " when I wanted to say " why the **** Lyon "

Saqlain conquered the famed Indian batting jaggernaut. Only Ajantha Mendis came close to repeating that performance. That is ridiculously good stuff.
