Summary created with AI assistance · Source: nytimes.com

Wasim Akram called Imran Khan a mentor and friend, saying they have had no contact for three years.

Khan has spent three years in prison serving sentences over corruption charges he vehemently denies.

In a Sky Sports interview, his sons feared for his life and alleged he was isolated for more than 23 hours daily.

Before the third and final Test, Pakistan trailed 2-0 and had lost 15 of its previous 20 matches.

"Imran Khan was my mentor," he says. "He’s my friend, I miss him a lot. I haven’t spoken to him for three years. It’s so unfortunate, politically, what’s happening with him. The court of law is the court of law. But as far as his health is concerned, there can be no compromise on that."— Wasim Akram; in an interview with The Athletic about Imran Khan’s health and the political situation in Pakistan

Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev among 21 cricketers to write to Shehbaz Sharif, request ‘humane treatment’ for Imran Khan | Cricket

Key Facts21 former captains urge humane treatment for Imran Khan

Aug 23, 2026 · Reading time: ~30 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: hindustantimes.com

On August 23, figures including Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar appealed to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for humane treatment and proper medical care.

Seven former captains joined six months after 14 former international captains had submitted a letter, bringing the new appeal to 21 signatories.

According to the letter, Pakistan’s Supreme Court ordered Khan’s examination in hospital by a board including his own doctors and his sister, Dr Uzma Khan, but a state-appointed team declared him medically fit after a stay of only a few hours and he was returned to Adiala Jail before the ordered process was completed, which his family and legal team say did not comply with the court’s order.

The three demands are a full independent assessment including the reported loss of vision in his right eye, uninterrupted weekly family visits, and prompt treatment based on the assessment’s findings.
