Twenty-two international cricketers, including 21 ex-captains, have written a letter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, making an appeal for ex-Pakistani premier Imran Khan’s medical treatment in line with recent Supreme Court directives, ESPN Cricinfo reported on Sunday.
On August 18, the Supreme Court directed the government to move Imran to Islamabad’s Shifa International Hospital, a private facility, within two days for examination and treatment by a multidisciplinary medical board.
However, it later turned out that Imran was instead taken to the government-run Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims).
Meanwhile, it was also reported that he could not undergo a recommended computed tomography angiography (CTA) at Pims as the required facilities were unavailable at the hospital.
