PCB is such a shameless cricket board, first they said, If Sky Sports telecast the interview of Imran Khan's sons, we won't play

Meanwhile, Sky Sports telecasted the interview and Pakistan is playing the Lord's Test

If a clown had a face, the PCB would be it's prime example🤡

Adding my support here to GC and the other former international captains. I hope the court ordered medical assessment be allowed to run its course, and that family visits continue. I hope Imran Khan is treated with the dignity anyone deserves

سابق انگلش کرکٹر ناصر حسین پاکستان کرکٹ کی موجودہ صورتحال پر افسوس کا اظہار کرتے ہوئے کہتے ہیں کہ یہ اب وہ ٹیم نہیں رہی جس کے بھارت کے خلاف میچز کا دنیا بھر میں شائقین بےصبری سے انتظار کرتے تھے۔ نہ وہ معیار کے باؤلر دکھائی دیتے ہیں، نہ بیٹسمین، نہ پہلے جیسا جذبہ، نہ مقابلہ کرنے کی صلاحیت اور نہ ہی جیتنے کی وہ خواہش نظر آتی ہے۔

پاکستان کرکٹ کے لیے یہ صورتحال یقیناً انتہائی تشویش ناک اور افسوسناک مرحلہ ہے۔

Imran Khan’s sons have accused the Pakistani government of “blatantly trying to kill” the jailed former prime minister and cricket captain.

Khan, 73, has been in jail in Pakistan for the past three years because of a string of allegations that followed his ousting as prime minister in August 2022 ⤵️

The PCB made a formal complaint to Sky Sports after the broadcaster aired an interview with the sons of former prime minister and captain Imran Khan during the lunch interval on the first day at Lord's

Cricinfo understands the PCB considered the option of Pakistan not taking the field after the break in protest

🇵🇰 Former PM Imran Khan’s sons say they’re genuinely scared they could lose their father in prison.

Kasim and Sulaiman spoke to Sky Sports at Lord’s, with their father’s portrait hanging right behind them. They haven’t seen him since 2022 and haven’t even spoken to him since March.

And what they’re describing is brutal.

They say he now spends more than 23 hours a day alone in a small cell, has lost 80% of the vision in one eye and is struggling with his health.

Kasim: “They are just blatantly trying to kill him in there.”

Even after the Supreme Court ordered him moved to a private hospital, his sons say he was taken to a government facility for a few hours and then sent straight back to jail.

The government of course denies mistreating him and says he has food, books, TV and space to exercise.

And here’s where it gets even more frustrating. After his sons spoke about all of this, the Pakistan Cricket Board complained to Sky over the interview.

Forget the politics for a second. These are two sons who just want to see their dad, talk to him and know if he’s okay.

Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?

For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir,  which according to the UN,  amounts to torture and which  is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health. 

He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.

The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.

He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.

Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive  medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.

Yet those orders are being defied.

This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.

He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and  include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.

His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls. 

I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not  intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father. 

@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court;  restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.

Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government  to please now do the right thing.

Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan is being “repeatedly tortured” in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, his sister has alleged.
The claim came hours after Khan was returned to prison following a medical examination ordered by the Supreme Court.

PAKISTAN: Ahead of the third anniversary of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ongoing detention, Isabelle Lassee, Amnesty International’s Acting Regional Director for South Asia, said:

“For three years, Pakistan’s authorities have systematically denied Imran Khan the right to a fair trial, subjected him to prolonged solitary confinement, and limited his access to medical care and visitation rights. He has not been allowed to meet his family for more than eight months and his vision has reportedly deteriorated significantly. Both he and his wife, Bushra Bibi Khan, have now been denied regular access to legal counsel since December 2025."

ڈاکٹر عارفہ کہتی ہیں مجھے کالا لباس پسند ہے اور ایک بار میں اسی لباس میں ایک ڈاکٹر صاحب کے ہاسپٹل میں چیک اپ کے لئے گئی ۔ موصوف مجھے دیکھتے ہی بولے ، آپ کیا شیعہ ہیں ؟ میں نے کہا میں ابھی ٹھیک سے مسلمان بھی نہیں بن سکی تو" شیعہ ُسنی" کیا بنتی ۔
ڈاکٹر صاحب کے اندر کوئی سویا ہوا مفتی جاگ گیا۔ بولے مسلمان ہی رہنا، شیعہ نہ بن جانا _

میری ہنسی چھٹے چھٹے رہ گئی ۔ ڈاکٹر صاحب اس وقت" یہود و نصاریٰ" کا لباس پینٹ شرٹ پہنے ہوئے تھے ۔ پتہ نہیں ہم نے کیوں لباسوں کو مذاہب سے جوڑ دیا ہے جبکہ " لباس ثقافت ہے مذہب نہیں" ۔
