Former Cricket Captains Appeal to Pakistan PM for Imran Khan's Medical Care
Twenty-one former international cricket captains, including Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, have appealed to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for humane treatment and proper medical care for former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The appeal follows a Supreme Court order to transfer Khan to a hospital for a medical examination by a board including his personal doctors and sister, which was reportedly not fully implemented. The captains emphasized their shared cricketing bond with Khan and called for adherence to court directives and family visit reinstatements amid concerns over his health in custody.
