  "account": "Former Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad broke down in tears as he defended his former teammate and current political figure, Imran Khan. Miandad called Khan an \"honest man\" and rejected any suggestion that the 1992 World Cup-winning captain was corrupt. This defense came amid growing concerns over Khan's imprisonment and health. Khan's own sons had recently expressed alarm over prison conditions during an interview with Sky Sports. Several other former cricket captains, including Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, have also publicly called for proper medical care for Khan. The controversy surrounding Khan's treatment has spilled over into cricket, with Imran's sons speaking out about his isolation and alleged attempts to silence him. Despite their past rivalry on the field, Miandad insists their core purpose was always to represent Pakistan together.",
