PCB Complains to Sky Sports Over Interview with Imran Khan's Sons During Lord's Test
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) lodged a formal complaint with Sky Sports after the broadcaster aired an interview with Imran Khan's sons, Kasim and Suleiman, during the lunch break of the second Test between England and Pakistan at Lord's. The interview, conducted by former England captain Mike Atherton, featured concerns about Imran Khan's health and safety in prison. The PCB objected to the political nature of the segment and considered a protest by not taking the field after lunch but ultimately did not follow through. The interview was not broadcast in Pakistan, where PTV holds rights to the series.
