PCB Objects to Sky Sports Interview with Imran Khan's Sons During Lord's Test
During the second Test at Lord's, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) objected to Sky Sports airing an interview with Imran Khan's sons, Kasim and Sulaiman, discussing concerns about the former Prime Minister's health and prison conditions. The PCB threatened a player boycott but ultimately lodged a formal complaint after the interview was broadcast during lunch. Pakistan's players returned to the field, and the match continued. Pakistan's state broadcaster did not air the interview. Coach Sarfaraz Ahmed stated he was unaware of the boycott threat, focusing solely on the game.
