Pakistan Cricket Board Probes Imam-ul-Haq's Injury Amid Controversy and Legal Considerations
Pakistan cricketer Imam-ul-Haq is under investigation by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over doubts about the legitimacy of his calf injury sustained during the second Test against England. Despite scans confirming a low-grade strain, Imam did not bat in either innings but was seen taking throwdowns with a taped leg, prompting former players and selectors to question the injury. An inquiry committee will examine the matter, and Imam is reportedly considering legal counsel. This controversy follows previous injury-related allegations against him and coincides with a broader team overhaul after Pakistan's series defeat.
