PCB sources said Imam-ul-Haq's calf injury at Lord's could face renewed scrutiny given his past injury controversy during the 2025 New Zealand tour.
PCB sources indicated that Imam-ul-Haq's latest calf injury at Lord's could face scrutiny due to his past controversy. The opener was ruled out of the second Test after suffering the strain while fielding.
Imam's previous injury episode during the 2025 New Zealand tour drew similar questions about its severity. The latest incident has prompted internal discussions within the board.
The PCB has not confirmed whether any formal review of the injury will take place. Imam returned home after being ruled out of the Lord's Test.

The pattern of recurring injuries at critical moments creates a credibility gap that selection panels will have to weigh against Imam's batting record when future squads are chosen.
