Former Pakistani wicket‑keeper Moin Khan appealed to authorities and fellow cricketers to ensure former prime minister Imran Khan receives proper medical treatment, describing his condition as worrying.
Moin Khan, a former Pakistani wicket‑keeper and World Cup‑winning player, publicly called on the government and cricket fraternity to guarantee former prime minister Imran Khan’s right to adequate medical care. In an emotional statement, he said the nation must not let political considerations impede access to treatment for the ailing leader.
Khan also urged his fellow former cricketers to speak out in support of Imran Khan, emphasizing that a united voice from the sports community could pressure authorities to act swiftly. International captains have echoed similar concerns, highlighting the need for constitutional safeguards and proper healthcare for political figures.
Former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell, who has followed Khan’s health closely, described the situation as “worrying” and said reliable information about his condition remains scarce. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) subsequently lodged a formal complaint after a televised interview with Imran Khan’s sons aired, indicating heightened sensitivity around the issue.
The appeal comes as Imran Khan’s health continues to be a subject of public debate, with his supporters demanding transparency and timely medical attention. No official response from the authorities has been recorded at the time of this report.
