PCB investigates Imam-ul-Haq injury claims
PCB probes Imam-ul-Haq's disputed calf injury after he was seen batting following his withdrawal from the Lord's Test.
The PCB has launched an inquiry into Pakistan batter Imam-ul-Haq's calf injury that ruled him out of the second Test against England at Lord's. Scans confirmed a tear, but doubts arose after he was later seen facing throwdowns.
Imam-ul-Haq is preparing to seek legal advice as the board considers possible sanctions. Reports suggest he could face a two-year suspension if the inquiry finds the injury claim was false.
Wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan is also under scrutiny and is unlikely to be selected for Pakistan in the near future, according to sources.

If the PCB imposes a lengthy ban, it signals a shift from protecting senior players to enforcing accountability, even at the cost of weakening the top order.
