Pakistani cricket legend Imran Khan’s reported condition has brought together 14 former cricketers, including those from India. Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev have joined Greg Chappell and Steve Waugh to write to the Government of Pakistan.
They have expressed concern about the reported condition of the former Pakistan captain. Khan, also a former Pakistani PM, has reportedly lost most vision in one eye.
“As fellow cricketers who understand the values of fair play, honour, and respect that transcend the boundary rope, we believe that a person of Imran Khan’s stature deserves to be treated with the dignity and basic human consideration befitting a former national leader and a global sporting icon,” ANI quoted the letter as saying.
“We respectfully urge the Government of Pakistan to ensure that Imran Khan receives immediate, adequate and ongoing medical attention from qualified specialists of his choosing to address his reported health issues…” the letter further says.
