PCB recommended banning Imam-ul-Haq for faking injury in 2025

A report claims that the PCB recommended banning Imam-ul-Haq after a 2025 committee probe allegedly found he had faked an injury. The recommendation was made after an earlier investigation into similar conduct.

The latest controversy involves Imam's calf injury that ruled him out of the second Test at Lord's. The PCB has now launched a fresh high-level investigation into the circumstances of his withdrawal.

The 2025 probe findings add weight to questions about whether the current injury claim follows a pattern of behaviour previously examined by the board.
