PCB launches investigation into Imam-ul-Haq injury
PCB investigates Imam-ul-Haq's injury amid fresh scrutiny following his withdrawal from the Lord's Test.
The PCB has launched a high-level investigation into Imam-ul-Haq's injury after the batter returned home from the Lord's Test. The probe follows earlier scrutiny over a 2025 fake-injury case where the board had considered banning the opener.
Pakistan released seven players after the Lord's defeat and included five uncapped cricketers among the replacements for the third Test at Birmingham.
The investigation will examine the circumstances surrounding Imam's controversial absence during England's second innings.

The investigation signals the PCB's determination to tighten discipline around injury claims after the 2025 episode exposed gaps in verification processes.
