Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestylePakistan reportedly considered delaying the afternoon session after Sky's interview with Imran Khan's sons (Reuters)The opening day of the Lord's Test match between England and Pakistan faced potential political disruption after Sky Sports aired a lunch-interval interview with the sons of Imran Khan. During the broadcast, Suleiman and Kasim Khan raised concerns over their father's safety and treatment in prison, alongside criticising the UK government's response to his ongoing detention. Reports suggested that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), whose chairman Mohsin Naqvi also serves as Pakistan's interior minister, lodged a formal complaint and threatened to delay taking the field for the afternoon session. The Pakistani team ultimately resumed play on schedule, avoiding a repeat of the 2006 Oval Test forfeiture when Pakistan refused to play following ball-tampering allegations. Sky Sports declined to comment on the matter, while the PCB and player representatives offered no public reaction during post-match press conferences.
