Pakistan Cricket Board Complains to Sky Sports Over Imran Khan Sons' Interview
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) lodged a formal complaint with Sky Sports after the broadcaster aired an interview with Imran Khan's sons during the lunch break of the second Test between England and Pakistan. The interview, conducted by former England captain Mike Atherton, featured concerns about Imran Khan's health in prison. The PCB reportedly considered protesting by refusing to take the field after lunch. Sky delayed but eventually aired the segment, while Pakistan's official broadcaster chose not to broadcast it. Imran Khan has been imprisoned for three years with multiple sentences.
