Former Pakistan captain and former Prime Minister Imran Khan has now received support from former Australian cricketers as well. Seven former Australian captains have expressed concern over the treatment of Imran Khan, who is currently imprisoned in Pakistan, particularly regarding his access to medical treatment, meetings with his family, and legal advisers. The former captains have written to Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, urging her to intervene in the matter on humanitarian grounds. The letter has been signed by former Australian captains Allan Border, Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell, Belinda Clark, Kim Hughes, Mark Taylor, and Steve Waugh.
In their appeal, the former Australian captains have made it clear that their intention is not to express an opinion on the ongoing legal or political proceedings against Imran Khan. Their focus is solely on his treatment as a prisoner and his basic humanitarian needs. These experienced cricketers have raised concerns about Imran Khan’s health, the medical facilities available to him, his contact with his family, and his access to legal advice. They say that the matter goes beyond a person’s political views or position and is fundamentally about human dignity.
