  "summary": "Former West Indies captain Brian Lara has joined a growing list of cricket legends calling for proper medical care and humane treatment for imprisoned former Pakistan captain Imran Khan. According to Lara, Khan's situation is one of \"basic humanity\", rather than politics.\n\nLara expressed his concerns over Khan's situation on Instagram, stating that he was struggling to understand how a sporting icon who once inspired an entire country could now find himself in circumstances where he was not receiving the compassion and dignity he deserved.\n\nThe appeal for Khan's proper medical care and dignified conditions was initially signed by 22 international cricketers, including 21 ex-captains, who wrote a letter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, according to the Daily Times.",
