Imran Khan’s sons challenge Pakistan cricket board over prison concerns
Sulaiman and Kasim Khan criticised PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi after an unverified report about a Sky Sports interview, while Pakistani authorities denied allegations of mistreatment.
The sons of former Pakistan captain and prime minister Imran Khan have criticised Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi and raised concerns about their father’s health and treatment in prison.
The dispute followed a Sky Sports interview with Sulaiman and Kasim Khan during the second Test between Pakistan and England at Lord’s. Reports subsequently claimed the PCB threatened not to send Pakistan’s team out for a session unless the interview was removed. The claim has not been independently verified in the supplied material.
Kasim Khan alleged that his father was being silenced and that authorities were allowing his condition to deteriorate. He also raised concerns about Khan’s solitary confinement and safety.
Sulaiman Khan questioned the PCB’s reported response, saying the board had no remit to seek the removal of an interview addressing an alleged humanitarian situation and Khan’s health. The sons said the reaction had damaged the board’s image.
Pakistani authorities denied allegations of mistreatment and said Khan was receiving proper medical care. Khan returned to prison on 21 August 2026 after a hospital medical evaluation, according to background information supplied with the report.
