PCB launches inquiry into Imam-ul-Haq calf injury after Lord's Test
PCB investigates Imam-ul-Haq's disputed calf injury that kept him out of the Lord's Test, with a potential two-year ban under consideration.
The Pakistan Cricket Board opened an inquiry on Wednesday into the circumstances surrounding Imam-ul-Haq's calf injury that ruled him out of both innings during the second Test against England at Lord's. Scans later confirmed a tear, yet questions arose after the batter was seen facing throwdowns.
Imam-ul-Haq is reportedly preparing to hire legal representation as the board examines possible disciplinary breaches. Previous medical controversies involving the player have also surfaced during the review.
A two-year ban remains a possible outcome if the inquiry finds misconduct.

The inquiry outcome will test whether the PCB can enforce medical protocols without triggering further legal challenges from players.
