Pat Cummins joins ex-captains in urging Pakistan government to treat Imran Khan with ‘dignity’

Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins has joined former international captains in urging the Pakistan government to treat Imran Khan with dignity. Cummins expressed his hope that the court-ordered medical assessment of Imran Khan would be allowed to run its course, and that family visits would continue. The former Australia captain made the statement on the social media platform X in response to a tweet from the podcast The Grade Cricketer, where Greg Chappell spoke about Imran's health.

Chappell had previously organized a letter signed by 14 former cricketers, including himself, requesting better treatment for Imran Khan in prison. Recently, a second letter was released by 23 former captains, urging the Pakistan government to provide better medical treatment to Imran Khan in accordance with a Supreme Court order.

However, Imran Khan was examined only by a state-appointed team and returned to jail before the court's order could be fully implemented.
