Former cricket captains appeal to Pakistan govt over Khan care

More than a dozen former international cricket captains, including India's Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, rallied Tuesday for jailed Pakistan ex-premier Imran Khan, appealing the Islamabad government to give him "adequate" medical treatment. Despite India's fraught relations with Pakistan, including military conflict last year, former India captains Gavaskar and Kapil signed a petition expressing "deep concern" about Khan's treatment and prison conditions. The statement, signed by 14 captains and seen by AFP, demands the proper care of Khan, a former World Cup-winning captain who according to his lawyer has lost most of the vision in his right eye.
