Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, sons of former Pakistan captain Imran Khan, have publicly condemned PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi for threatening to boycott the second Test match at Lord's. The threat followed a Sky Sports interview featuring the brothers discussing their father's health and imprisonment. Board officials allegedly sought to have the broadcast censored, sparking criticism regarding political interference in cricket administration. While captain Babar Azam and former coach Sarfaraz Ahmed reportedly distanced themselves from strike rumors, the incident drew negative attention to the board's management. The sons described the PCB's actions as tactless and damaging to the credibility of Pakistan cricket on the global stage. This episode occurs as the national team faces ongoing performance challenges and internal administrative criticism.
