Shoaib Akhtar felt discomfort in his knee sometime back. He said the decision to undergo the operation was taken after the pain became unbearable.

“It has become necessary to go for its remedy now. I’ve left my family. I’ve left everyone and this is not a very happy feeling. But this is also important to get my knee sorted out,” said Shoaib.
