PCB and Sky Sports dispute over Imran Khan interview

Overview

A controversy emerged during the second Test match at Lord’s involving the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Sky Sports. The dispute was triggered by an 18-minute interview conducted by Michael Atherton with Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, the sons of former Prime Minister and cricket captain Imran Khan. In the segment, the brothers discussed their father’s health and safety while in prison.

The PCB reportedly lodged a formal complaint and considered a boycott of the match to protest the broadcast. While the Pakistan team eventually returned to the field, the incident led to significant criticism from the Khan brothers. Kasim Khan told The Telegraph that the board’s actions made them ‘absolute fools of themselves’, while Sulaiman Khan argued that the PCB should not be responsible for censoring discussions regarding the humanitarian situation of a former player.
