Since the team management announced his injury, there have been speculations about whether he was faking it. Trouble is brewing in Pakistan cricket. Opener Imam-ul-Haq could face strong disciplinary action after the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to conduct a probe into his left calf muscle injury, which prevented him from batting in both innings of the second Test against England at Lord’s. Imam injured himself while fielding on the opening day of the Test and did not take any further part in the match.
“One thing is for sure, he is going back home before the third Test,” one source close to the board confirmed.
He said PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi had also ordered that a proper inquiry committee be formed to probe the entire matter and submit its findings as soon as possible. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials had earlier raised concerns over Imam’s alleged injuries, according to Geo.tv . “In March 2025, a PCB inquiry committee found Imam responsible for misrepresenting an injury during Pakistan’s tour of New Zealand,” the report quoted a source as saying.
