PCB investigates Imam-ul-Haq over alleged fake injury claims from 2025 New Zealand tour
PCB launches investigation into Imam-ul-Haq's injury claims amid previous 2025 fake-injury controversy.
Imam-ul-Haq is lining up a lawyer. The PCB has opened an urgent probe into his latest injury claim from the England Test series, and sources say the 2025 fake-injury case is back on the table.
That earlier investigation reportedly found the opener had feigned an injury during the New Zealand tour; the board came close to banning him. Now the same file is open again while Pakistan's tour is still in progress.
The timing matters. Misbah-ul-Haq has already quit, the squad was reshuffled mid-series, and selection fights are playing out through medical reports rather than runs on the board.

The PCB's move to reopen a year-old injury file while the side is still in England raises a practical question: who decides whether a player is fit when the coach has resigned and the squad is already short?
