Former Australian cricket captains write to Wong over Khan’s imprisonment

--> In Australia, seven former national cricket team captains wrote a letter to Foreign Minister Penny Wong, expressing concern over the imprisonment of Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan’s PTI party. They called the treatment of any person in custody a matter of basic humanity, Dawn reports , citing Cricinfo.

The letter was signed by Allan Border, Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell, Belinda Clark, Kim Hughes, Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh. They said they were speaking not as diplomats or political figures, but as former captains who believe it is necessary to speak out.

The authors of the letter do not take a position on Khan’s legal or political case, as they consider it a matter for Pakistan to resolve. Their concern relates to the treatment of any people in custody, regardless of their political views.
