Several reports have claimed that there have been attempts made on the life of the former Pakistan Prime Minister, prompting both sons as well as a legion of cricket fans worldwide to fear for the ex-cricketer’s safety. While the interview was aired on Sky Sports, it was not broadcast at PTV, the network which is providing live coverage of the England vs Pakistan Test series in Pakistan.Pakistan threatened to boycott second TestThe report also indicated that the PCB warned the Sky Sports before airing the interview with the sons of Imran Khan. Apparently, the PCB even threatened that the Pakistan players will not return to the field after the lunch break if the network would air the interview.As it turned out, after a brief delay, Sky Sports eventually aired with the interview, where Mike Atherton can be seen speaking with Suleiman Khan and Kasim Khan at the writer’s room at Lord’s in London. Imran Khan’s health deteriorates, shifted to hospitalEarlier this month, the Pakistan Supreme Court ordered the transfer of Imran Khan from his Rawalpindi prison to the Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad.Imran’s spokesperson Naeem Haider Panjutha said that the 73-year-old will be under the observation of a panel of elite doctors amid his deteriorating health. Notably, a report stated that the former cricketer lost sight in his right eye while in prison. However, the Rawalpindi jail authorities submitted a report claiming that his eyesight is “almost normal”.Why was Imran Khan arrested Imran Khan, former Pakistan Prime Minister and 1992 World Cup winning skipper, was arrested in mid-2023 over his involvement in the Al-Qadir Trust case. In January 2025 last year, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison, and received a separate 17-year sentence later that year in the Toshakhana-II case. Several fans in Pakistan have since protested against the arrest of the former cricketer, claiming that his imprisonment is politically motivated.Apart from fans, Khan has also received much support from the cricketing fraternity, with former players like Sunil Gavaskar, Adam Gilchrist, Alastair Cook, Steve Waugh and Kapil Dev writing a letter to Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif.Also Read- Watch- Salman Ali Agha Makes Babar Azam Realise His Worth With A Flying Catch vs England
