PCB Triggered Sky Sports Interview With Imran Khan's Sons
The controversy began during the Day 1 lunch break when Sky Sports aired an interview with Imran Khan’s sons, Suleiman and Kasim Khan, conducted by former England captain Michael Atherton.
The ECB then sought advice from the UK government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office over the reported threat. Sky Sports went ahead with the interview, while the network said that it received no further complaints on Friday.
Mohsin Naqvi’s Dual Role Raises Political Questions
PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi also serves as Pakistan’s interior minister. His dual role has added sensitivity to the dispute over the Sky Sports interview involving Imran Khan’s sons.
Imran played 88 Tests and 175 ODIs for Pakistan during his 21-year international career. He scored 3,807 Test runs and took 362 wickets while also leading Pakistan to their first World Cup title in 1992.
Khan later entered politics and served as Pakistan’s prime minister from 2018 to 2022. He has remained in prison since 2023 after convictions in corruption-related cases. His sons, Suleiman and Kasim Khan, raised concerns about his treatment and security during the Sky Sports interview.
