After former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad came out in support of jailed former Pakistan captain and Prime Minister Imran Khan, another former Pakistan men’s cricket team captain, Moin Khan, has now raised his voice in support of the legendary cricketer.
Imran has been in jail since August 2023 and has faced serious health-related issues in recent days. Following Miandad’s appeal to the Pakistani government for Imran’s release, Moin has joined the call and urged the government to ensure that the jailed leader receives the necessary medical treatment.
In a video posted by Moin on X, he also appealed to all Pakistani cricketers to raise their voices in support of the captain who led Pakistan to their historic 1992 ODI World Cup triumph.
“Imran Khan
is very unwell. I appeal to the government of Pakistan that Imran be granted his rights as a former Prime Minister and citizen of Pakistan with regard to his treatment,” Moin, who led Pakistan to the Asia Cup title in 2000, said in the video posted on X.

“I also appeal to all Pakistan cricketers to raise their voice in support of Imran. Those of us who played with him learned a lot from him, and he gave Pakistan cricket so much,” he added.
Moin, who represented Pakistan from 1990 to 2004, made both his Test and ODI debuts under Imran’s leadership. He also played 10 matches in the 1992 World Cup, which Pakistan won under Imran’s captaincy.
Javed Miandad was the first Pakistani cricketer to publicly speak in favour of Imran Khan.
In a recent video podcast, Miandad said that Imran took Pakistan to new heights and expressed his sadness over the former captain’s current situation.
“I pray that what’s going on with him gets resolved, because he does not deserve this,” Miandad said. “What’s being done to him is not right. It’s unnecessary. He has a family too.”
“I think about it all the time, what he must be doing (in prison), what he must be thinking of. We were so close. We used to be together and think so much of each other. We took Pakistan to such new heights. I can’t help but feel so sad about it,” he added.
