    What's the story

    Ihsanullah, the 22-year-old Pakistani fast bowler, has reversed his earlier decision to retire from the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

    The sudden change of heart comes just hours after his initial announcement.

    The young cricketer attributed this reversal to an emotional reaction after he was excluded from the season 10 draft of the league.

    Here are further details.

    Retirement decision

    Ihsanullah's initial retirement announcement

    Ihsanullah's first decision to retire from the PSL stemmed from his disappointment at being ignored in the season 10 draft despite his consistent performances.

    Speaking to Public News, he had vented his frustration and clarified that this wasn't a rash decision but a well-thought-out one.

    The pacer even said he intends to focus on domestic cricket and represent Pakistan without PSL exposure.

    Ihsanullah's U-turn and future plans

    However, Ihsanullah later backtracked on his retirement decision, confessing to ARY News that it was purely an emotional one.

    He disclosed that his friends and family had changed his thinking at the time.

    "There's no plan for retirement, I announced the decision yesterday in emotions," he said.

    Despite the setback, Ihsanullah is determined to make a comeback in domestic cricket and prove his worth in future PSL drafts.

    Career journey

    Ihsanullah's career highlights and injury setback

    Ihsanullah first made waves during PSL 8 with Multan Sultans, picking up a staggering 22 wickets at an economy of 7.59.

    His performance earned him a spot in Pakistan's T20I squad and he made his international debut against Afghanistan in March 2023.

    However, his budding career was stalled by an elbow injury that ignited a debate over how his recovery was being handled.
