The 73-year-old Imran has been jailed in Rawalpindi since 2023 after being convicted on corruption charges. Javed Miandad has seen the aura of Imran Khan from close quarters. Together, they were part of a Pakistan cricket period when it was one of the most feared teams in the world. Imran Khan went on to become the country’s prime minister, but has now ended up in jail. He recently underwent a medical examination in Islamabad before being sent back to prison.
A former Pakistan Prime Minister himself, Imran is an iconic name in the country’s cricket history, having led the national team to its first and only ODI World Cup title back in 1992. Right now, it is worse than ever, completely isolating him for more than 23 hours a day in a cell,” Kasim said in the interview. Cummins has become perhaps the first active cricketer to voice his support for Imran’s medical care after 21 former captains, including India great Sunil Gavaskar , wrote a letter to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif demanding humane treatment of the legendary former all-rounder.
I always think about what he must be doing,” Miandad said on the Narrative YouTube channel. The last time he was able to speak to our aunties and anyone else, he said the conditions have severely worsened recently. A day after a Sky Sports interview with Imran Khan’s sons made news around the world, Javed Miandad broke down during an interview while talking about Imran’s conditions. “He is an honest man. He is not someone who engages in corrupt practices, otherwise he would have done a lot of things. What will happen if you let him out? Will he eat or damage someone? He is also someone’s son. “They are not even acting with any kind of strategy anymore. It is not very clear what they are doing, just blatantly trying to kill him in there. Keep him in as long as possible and silence him. He has been relating it to other political prisoners who have been killed or who have died in prison.
Meanwhile, Australia’s Test and ODI skipper Pat Cummins on Friday threw his weight behind the ongoing former international captains’ campaign seeking medical care for jailed Pakistan legend Imran Khan and said he should be treated with dignity.
