A group of 21 former international captains from nine cricketing nations has written to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, asking for proper medical care and humane treatment for the 1992 World Cup-winning captain. Imran, who led Pakistan to their historic 1992 World Cup triumph, has been in prison since 2023 following multiple legal cases. Imran Khan is 73 years old and has now spent more than three years in custody.

Greg Chappell, who took the initiative for the letter, said: “We’re not asking Pakistan for anything unusual — just that a court order most countries would take for granted is actually carried out” 3. NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has spoken about the condition of Imran Khan , saying the former Pakistan Prime Minister is holding up despite spending nearly three years in prison. Ramiz spoke about Imran during a recent episode of the ‘Stick to Cricket’ podcast, where he was joined by former England captain Alastair Cook and broadcaster David Lloyd. The discussion came as concerns around Imran’s health and treatment continue to grow. That whatever the outcome of that medical assessment, the treatment recommended by it be provided without delay. Whatever the legal and political arguments surrounding his case, the basic decency of ensuring a court-ordered medical process is actually completed is not, in our view, a controversial request. It is one we believe every nation that plays this game would recognise as fair. We hope this matter can be resolved expeditiously and with the dignity Mr Imran Khan deserves. Yours in cricket,”
