Imran Khan ‘helped improve lives of Pakistanis’: Australian cricket greats now fear former Pakistan PM will die in jail
Cricket legends have united to express concerns over Imran Khan's health in detention. Seven former Australian captains urged their government to address Khan's treatment, advocating for independent medical assessments and humane treatment.
Former Australian cricket captains, including Allan Border, Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell, and Belinda Clark, have expressed concern over the health and treatment of Imran Khan, Pakistan's former prime minister, who is currently detained in Pakistan. The seven captains have written a letter to Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, urging her government to discuss the situation.
They fear Khan may "die in jail" due to inadequate healthcare, limited family meetings, and restricted access to lawyers. Former captains argue that Khan, who helped improve the lives of Pakistanis by building cancer hospitals, deserves humane treatment in detention. The letter highlights his vision loss in his right eye and the need for an independent medical assessment and immediate treatment.
The captains' concerns echo those raised by previous international cricket players, who have also expressed worry over Khan's health.
