Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram says he has not spoken to Imran Khan for about three years. Akram’s comments come as Imran Khan remains in custody, after being jailed since 2022. The former cricketer has faced convictions in multiple corruption-related cases, and his legal situation continues to draw public attention.
Across outlets, the core focus is on Akram’s direct remarks and their relevance to Khan’s broader public profile. Some coverage emphasizes that Akram is a prominent cricketing figure commenting on a political leader who is widely discussed in Pakistan. Others frame the news around the fact that few former Pakistan stars have publicly expressed support, highlighting the significance of Akram speaking at all. No outlet dispute Akram’s claim about the length of time since he last communicated with Khan, though they differ in how much they stress Khan’s detentions and past convictions versus the novelty of Akram’s intervention.
