Fourteen former international cricket captains, including Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, have written to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif asking for urgent medical care for jailed former PM and World Cup-winning captain Imran Khan. The letter cites reports about his falling health and vision problems in custody. The group asked for “immediate, adequate and ongoing medical attention” and humane jail conditions. They also sought regular family visits and fair legal access. Other signatories include Greg Chappell, Steve Waugh and Clive Lloyd. No former Pakistan captain has signed the joint appeal. (PC: X)
