Former cricket captains appeal to Pakistan government for Imran Khan's medical care
A group of 21-22 former international cricket captains signed a letter to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urging that imprisoned former PM Imran Khan receive proper medical care and independent health assessments. The appeal follows Khan's brief hospital visit where he was examined by a state-appointed team rather than the court-ordered medical board including his personal physicians. Khan's party filed a contempt petition after he was sent to a government hospital instead of the private facility ordered by the Supreme Court.
