Ex-captains flag concerns over Imran's health to Pak

Twenty-two former international cricket captains have penned a letter to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, reiterating their plea for former Prime Minister Imran Khan's medical treatment following recent developments that they claim fall short of a Supreme Court directive. The letter, signed by notable names including Michael Atherton, Alex Blackwell, and others, highlights concerns over Imran Khan's hospital stay, which lasted only a few hours, and his purported loss of vision in one eye.

The captains specifically request that the Supreme Court-ordered medical board, including Khan's personal physicians and his sister Dr. Uzma Khan, conduct a thorough and independent health assessment. They also urge the reinstatement of weekly family visits and prompt provision of any recommended treatment.
