PCB recommended banning Imam-ul-Haq for faking injury in 2025
PCB considered banning Imam-ul-Haq after 2025 probe found he faked an injury.
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.

The existence of a prior recommendation to ban the batter means the current investigation is not starting from a blank slate but from an earlier internal conclusion that was never acted upon.
