PCB considered withdrawing players from Lord's Test
The PCB considered withdrawing players from the Lord's Test after Sky aired an interview with Imran Khan's sons but allowed the match to continue.
The Pakistan Cricket Board weighed pulling its players off the field at Lord's once Sky Sports aired an 18-minute interview with Imran Khan's sons. Kassim and Suleman Khan voiced fears for their 73-year-old father's wellbeing, and former England captain Mike Atherton led the questions.
Pakistan lodged an official complaint with the broadcaster. Still, the team walked out after lunch on day one and the match resumed without incident. England closed the second day in control.
