Pat Cummins voices concern about Imran Khan, says Pakistan legend must be treated with dignity
Cummins became the first active cricketer to back the appeal, as 21 former captains urged Pakistan to allow a court-ordered medical assessment and family visits.
- On Friday, Australian Test and ODI captain Pat Cummins publicly supported a campaign seeking medical care for jailed Pakistan legend Imran Khan, becoming the first active cricketer to voice such support.
- Cummins joined 21 former captains, including India great Sunil Gavaskar and former India captain Kapil Dev, who wrote to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif demanding humane treatment of the legendary former all-rounder.
- A second letter released earlier this week notes the Supreme Court ordered a medical board including Khan's personal physicians, yet he was examined by a state-appointed team and returned to Adiala Jail before that board's work was complete.
- Cummins emphasized that family visits must continue for the 73-year-old, while his sons, Sulaiman and Kasim, expressed fears about his safety amid the ongoing imprisonment.
- Former Australia captain Greg Chappell organized the advocacy efforts, stating, "I don't know how you deal with absolute isolation for three years," and emphasizing Khan's physical struggles as a primary concern.
