PCB complains after interview with Imran’s sons telecast during Test

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has lodged a formal complaint with Sky Sports after an interview with Imran Khan's sons was broadcast during the second Test against England at Lord's. According to UK media reports, the interview focused on concerns over Imran's deteriorating health after nearly three years in custody. The brothers revealed significant deterioration in their father's eyesight and expressed fears for his life.

Pakistan considered not taking the field after lunch but ultimately did not follow through. The PCB contacted Sky Sports to object to the broadcast, but the interview was aired in full by the channel. Pakistan's state broadcaster, PTV, did not screen the interview. Australian captain Pat Cummins expressed support for the campaign for Imran Khan to receive proper medical care.
