Sourav Gangulybacked the growing support for former Pakistan Prime Minister and World Cup-winning captainImran Khan, who is currently in jail and reportedly has lost 85 percent vision in right eye. Ganguly urged the government of Pakistan to take proper care of the cricketing hero who gave the country its greatest sporting moment. Ganguly's remark came just a few hours after 14 veteran cricketers, including Greg Chappell,Kapil Dev, and Sunil Gavaskar, wrote to Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif, urging proper medical care and legal facilities for the 1992 World Cup-winning captain.
"We, the undersigned former captains of our national cricket teams, write with deep concern regarding the reported treatment and incarceration conditions of Imran Khan, the distinguished former Captain of Pakistan and a legendary figure in world cricket," the letter stated.
“They have done the right thing. I hope his health improves and that he gets the right treatment. He has taken Pakistan to the world map, first as captain of the Pakistan cricket team and then as Prime Minister, so he should be looked after, and I expect that,” Ganguly told reporters on Tuesday.
Earlier, several former cricketers, including Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, Waqar Younis, Shahid Afridi, among others took to social media to demand proper medical care for the legendary cricketer.
