Javed Miandad in Tears as He Urges for Imran Khan’s Release — I Know Him, He’s an Honest Man

Miandad said Khan was not corrupt and pleaded for his release after the former captain’s sons raised concerns about his deteriorating condition.

  • Pakistan batting legend Javed Miandad broke down in tears defending former captain Imran Khan following a Sky Sports interview where Khan's sons, Sulaiman Khan and Kasim Khan, alleged their father faces mistreatment in Adiala Jail.
  • Appearing on Sky Sports Thursday, the brothers claimed authorities isolate Khan for nearly 23 hours daily and deny his personal physician access, violating Supreme Court orders.
  • Miandad, who won the 1992 ODI World Cup alongside Khan, insisted his former teammate is an honest man. He stated, 'He was never corrupt,' while urging authorities to treat the imprisoned former Prime Minister humanely.
  • Controversy erupted Thursday when reports suggested the Pakistan national team considered boycotting the second Test following the interview. The team continued play only after the England and Wales Cricket Board requested they proceed.
  • Earlier this week, 21 former captains, including Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar, wrote to Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif urging steps to improve Khan's health amid his prolonged imprisonment since 2023.
