Terror attack survivor umpire battles PCB apathy: Reports

KARACHI: Struggling to recover from the wounds of the Lahore terror attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team, Pakistani umpire Ahsan Raza's misery has been compounded by the PCB's apathy, local media reported.
According to Daily Jang, Raza is still admitted in the intensive care unit of the Government Services Hospital in Lahore.
The report says that the Pakistan Cricket Board officials have turned a deaf ear to his pleas for help and the umpire has had to purchase a fan with his own money to escape the heat as there is no air conditioning in the unit he is admitted in.
"Although there is a PCB employee present at the hospital in the day to care of Raza but no senior board official has bothered to visit the umpire and be in touch with the doctors and inquire about his progress from serious wounds," the report said.
Raza, a first-class umpire, was the fourth umpire for Pakistan's second Test against Sri Lanka and was traveling to the ground with the other match officials when terrorists attacked their convoy.
During the attack, Raza sustained gunshot wounds in his kidney and liver and had to be put on ventilator.
