Seven former Australian cricket captains have written to Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong expressing humanitarian concerns about the detention of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. The letter, signed by Allan Border, Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell, Belinda Clark, Kim Hughes, Mark Taylor, and Steve Waugh, emphasizes that their stance is not political but rather a plea for humane treatment based on basic human rights principles. This appeal follows previous letters from international cricket captains in February and August urging Pakistan to ensure Khan receives proper medical care and family visits as ordered by the Supreme Court.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.

Cricinfo → write → Khan
The signatories to the letter sent to the minister are Allan Border, Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell, Belinda Clark, Kim Hughes, Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh, who have clarified that they are writing "not as diplomats or political figures, but as former captains who felt compelled to speak up".
asserted
who → send → captains
In the letter, "the group makes clear it takes no position on the legal or political case against Mr. Khan", describing that as a matter for Pakistan alone.
They said their concern was with the treatment of anyone in detention, describing it as “a matter of basic humanity, whatever their politics”.

This marks the latest appeal from a group of highly respected former international cricketers in support of Imran Khan, the former Pakistan cricket captain and Prime Minister.

This → mark → Khan
On August 23, twenty-two former international cricket captains from around the world wrote to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, calling for improved medical treatment for Imran Khan and claiming that the care being provided to him fell short of a directive issued by the Supreme Court.
asserted
care → write → Court
The letter made three specific requests: 1. that the medical board directed by the Supreme Court - including Imran's own doctors - be permitted to complete a full and independent assessment of his health, particularly the reported loss of vision in his right eye; 2. that the weekly family visits reinstated by the Court be honoured without interruption or administrative delay; and 3. that whatever the outcome of that medical assessment, the treatment recommended by it be provided without delay.
asserted
treatment → make → delay
This followed an earlier letter in February, which was signed by 14 former international captains.

Since then, former Pakistan greats Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram and Moin Khan have also spoken out on the matter, while current Australia captain Pat Cummins has likewise voiced his concerns.
