Imam apparently injured himself while fielding on Day 1 of the second Test, leaving Pakistan a man down for the rest of the match. He didn’t bat in either innings, despite TV visuals showing him hitting the ball around before the start of play on Day 4, as Pakistan lost the match by 194 runs to concede the series 2-0.
Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq could potentially face a ban of up to two years over the controversy surrounding his injury in the second Test against England, according to a report.
A high-level investigation committee is being established by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to look into the controversy surrounding the incident, according to a report in Geo News . “Pakistan batter Imam-ul-Haq could potentially face a ban of up to two years over controversy surrounding his injury during the second Test against England at Lord’s, sources said on Wednesday,” the report said. Like Imam, Rizwan could also be questioned in the coming days, and the former Pakistan captain is unlikely to be picked for the national team in the near future.
