The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly lodged a formal complaint with Sky Sports following an interview with Kasim and Sulaiman Khan during coverage of the Pakistan-England Test at Lord’s.

The brothers, sons of former Pakistan captain and prime minister Imran Khan, discussed concerns surrounding their father and his treatment in prison during the broadcast.

The PCB’s specific objections to the interview have not been publicly disclosed. Sky Sports and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have also reportedly declined to comment publicly on the matter.

Interview Draws Attention During Test Coverage

The interview took place during television coverage of the Pakistan-England Test at Lord’s, bringing an off-field political and personal issue into the spotlight during an international cricket fixture.

Kasim and Sulaiman Khan used the opportunity to speak about their father’s circumstances and express their concerns regarding his treatment while in prison.

The reported complaint from the PCB has since attracted attention because of the involvement of a major international broadcaster and the high-profile nature of the individuals involved.

Former England Players Urge Focus

The developments came alongside comments from former England cricketers Stuart Broad and James Anderson regarding off-field controversies involving England players.

Both former players stressed the importance of the young England squad maintaining its focus and learning from previous experiences as the team prepares for major international challenges.

Their comments have added another layer to discussions surrounding the balance between on-field performance and off-field issues in international cricket.

PCB Complaint Remains Under Discussion

At this stage, the exact nature of the PCB’s concerns and any response from Sky Sports have not been publicly detailed.

The incident highlights how international cricket coverage can sometimes extend beyond the action on the field, particularly when high-profile players, personalities and wider public issues become part of a broadcast.

Further developments will depend on any official statements from the PCB, Sky Sports or the ECB.
