'They made absolute fools of themselves': Imran Khan's sons break silence on PCB's boycott threat of 2nd Test at Lord's
Former Prime Minister and 1992 World Cup-winning skipper Imran Khan's sons finally break their silence on their boycott of the second Test at Lord's.
Imran Khan's sons, Sulaiman and Kasim, have finally spoken out about the PCB's threat to boycott the second Test at Lord's, lambasting the board for attempting to censor an interview about their father's health. The political interference has only added to the ongoing crisis in Pakistan cricket, where off-field drama overshadows the Test match performances.
The sons described the board's actions as "tactless" and claimed they made "absolute fools of themselves" by threatening to pull the national team off the field. The situation has further exposed the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) lack of professional governance, with the political appointees using the national team as a political instrument overseas.
The PCB's interference in matters of interviews and humanitarian concerns has only served to embarrass the board on a global stage, with other international cricket legends stepping in to demand basic medical care for Imran Khan.
