Pakistan’s cricket board is investigating opener Imam-ul-Haq’s reported left calf injury ahead of Pakistan’s match against England. NDTV reports that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to conduct a probe into the nature of the injury after questions were raised about whether he should have batted.
The report says the investigation centers on claims that the player may have been injured in a way that could have affected his availability, with the added allegation that he could be a “repeat offender.” The PCB’s move indicates that disciplinary or selection-related consequences are possible depending on what the probe finds.
At this stage, the sources describe a pending inquiry rather than a final decision, and they do not cite official findings or confirm the details of any allegation beyond the PCB’s decision to investigate. The broader context is Pakistan’s need for consistency in its batting lineup during a match situation where the team’s playing XI is at stake.
