India, Feb. 18 -- Indian cricket legends, including Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, have voiced "deep concern" over the reported deterioration of jailed former Pakistan captain and Prime Minister Imran Khan's health. In a joint letter titled Appeal by Former International Cricket Captains, 14 ex-captains urged the Pakistan Government to ensure proper medical care, humane detention and transparent legal access for the 73-year-old, currently held at Adiala Jail. Reports claim Khan has lost nearly 85% vision in his right eye due to alleged medical neglect. He is serving a 14-year sentence in a corruption case and was Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022.
