Imam was ruled out of Pakistan’s second Test against England at Lord’s after suffering a left calf injury on the opening day. The injury came after he had dropped two catches and left Pakistan with one less batting option. Later, questions were raised over whether the injury was genuine.
The footage led to more criticism, with many former England and Pakistan players accusing him of faking the injury to avoid a difficult situation. Basit Ali has now questioned why the blame was placed on Imam when the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) own medical panel had confirmed an injury. According to the medical report, scans showed a stretch in Imam’s calf muscle.
Basit Ali wants court action over ‘Fake Injury’ claims
He recalled an incident from 2022 when Pakistan’s physiotherapist had already warned him that Imam can complain of an injury and raised similar issues from the past.
Basit Ali said on Samaa TV, “Who put the blame? Who did the blame game? The management, right? There were claims from the management that he had a fake injury and that he was being stopped from playing. A few more excuses from the ex-cricketer have come. It is unfair to humiliate a player in such a manner, especially when the PCB's own medical panel had reported an injury. So, they should be taken to court as well.”
Ajmal also felt that the changing statements have tarnished the reputation of Pakistan cricket, and now Imam is facing the massive backlash. Ajmal further wondered that if Imam was fit and deliberately refused to play, then strict action should be taken against him. But if he was genuinely injured, then the PCB and its medical team must accept responsibility for this mess.
Who is lying?
He further said, “If Imam was actually fit and deliberately avoided playing despite being available, then he should face appropriate action. No player should be allowed to misuse an injury claim. But if he was genuinely injured and followed the medical advice, then the PCB and its medical panel also need to take responsibility.”
