Former Pakistan cricket captains call for medical care for Imran Khan

Former ship captains have publicly urged the Pakistani government to honor a judicial directive requiring a medical assessment, describing compliance as “basic decency.” The statement was issued amid ongoing legal proceedings in which a court ordered an evaluation of the health conditions of individuals under Pakistani jurisdiction, a requirement that has yet to be fulfilled by the authorities.

The court-ordered assessment is intended to verify medical needs and ensure appropriate care, a step the former skippers argue is essential for upholding legal and humanitarian standards. Their appeal underscores the expectation that Pakistan will adhere to the ruling without further delay, thereby meeting both domestic legal obligations and international norms concerning the treatment of those subject to medical review.
