What happened now: former cricket captains ask Pakistan’s Prime Minister to restore a court-ordered medical process

Twenty-one former international cricket captains, including Greg Chappell, wrote to Pakistan Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif. The letter asks for humane treatment and adequate medical care for jailed former captain and Prime Minister Imran Khan, and it requests specific follow-through on a Supreme Court-directed healthcare assessment and family visitation routine.

Requests made in the letter

The letter does not aim to judge Pakistan’s legal process. It makes three concrete requests connected to a court-directed medical procedure:

Complete the Supreme Court-directed medical board with a full independent assessment, including assessment of reports of loss of vision in Khan’s right eye.Reinstate weekly family visits without interruption.Provide treatment promptly if the complete assessment recommends treatment.
