Former Cricket Captains Appeal to Pakistan for Imran Khan's Medical Care and Welfare
Twenty-one former international cricket captains, including Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, and Greg Chappell, have jointly appealed to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for humane treatment and proper medical care for former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Their letter follows Pakistan's Supreme Court order to transfer Khan to a hospital for medical examination, which was reportedly only partially followed. The captains emphasize their shared cricketing bond and call for adherence to court directives, including comprehensive medical evaluation and family visits.
