Wasim Akram Voices Concern Over Imran Khan's Health Amid ImprisonmentPreviousNext

Former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram has publicly expressed concern over the health of his friend and mentor, former Pakistan captain and prime minister Imran Khan, who has been imprisoned since 2023 on corruption convictions he denies. Akram emphasized that while the legal process must be respected, Imran's medical care should not be compromised. His comments follow appeals from international cricket figures and Imran's family for proper treatment amid conflicting reports about his condition in prison.
