Former and current cricket captains and legends issue a fresh appeal to Pakistan, calling for humane treatment of Imran Khan and for court-ordered medical processes to be carried out. The appeal says Khan should receive basic decency and proper medical care.
The outlets describe the effort as coming from high-profile former international skippers, including prominent names across countries. The Independent highlights a group that includes Michael Atherton, Michael Brearley, Kapil Dev, Belinda Clark, Adam Gilchrist, Steve Waugh and Kim Hughes, while The Hindu reports additional support from figures such as Greg Chappell and Sunil Gavaskar, along with others including Dilip Vengsarkar, Arjuna Ranatunga, Clive Lloyd and Nasser Hussein.
While the articles agree on the central message—urging humane treatment and medical access—their emphasis varies slightly: one stresses completion of court-ordered medical steps, and the other frames the appeal more broadly around humane treatment and proper medical care. Both present the appeal as advocacy by cricket leaders rather than a decision by any court or government.
