Kasim and Suleiman expressed concerns over their father’s health and safety during the interview, which was conducted by former England batter Michael Atherton . Day 1 of the first Test between England and Pakistan was overshadowed by a huge controversy after the official broadcaster, Sky Sports, aired an interview with Imran Khan’s sons during the lunch break. Former Pakistan captain Imran, who has been in jail since 2023 over corruption charges, served as the Prime Minister of the country between 2018 and 2022.
Atherton conducted the interview on Wednesday at the Lord’s Writers’ Room, with the broadcaster running a teaser ahead of the Test match. In Pakistan, the match’s broadcaster, PTV, did not show the interview. Twenty-two former international cricket captains have written another letter to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, renewing their appeal for medical treatment of former ODI World Cup-winning captain Imran Khan following recent developments that they say fall short of a Supreme Court directive.
