Conflicting medical advice on a left knee injury has left Pakistan's mercurial pacer Shoaib Akhtar confused and he is wondering whether to go for a surgery or get himself treated through medication and physiotherapy.

Shoaib's personal trainer Dr Tauseef Razzak has got two different advices from specialists and this has apparently left the pacer confused on his future course of action.
