Concerns Raised Over Imran Khan's Health and Prison Conditions Amid Family Appeals
Former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell and 21 ex-international captains have raised concerns about Imran Khan's deteriorating health during his imprisonment in Pakistan. Khan, aged 73, reportedly suffers from vision loss in his right eye and prolonged isolation in prison. His sons, Sulaiman and Kasim, have described harsh conditions, including limited medical care and near-constant solitary confinement. The Pakistan Cricket Board protested a Sky Sports interview with Khan's sons, which aired during a Test match, expressing concern over the timing and content. The government maintains Khan is medically fit following a brief examination.
