Pakistan threatened refusing to play after lunch against England after complaining to Sky Sports over interview with sons of imprisoned ex-captain and prime minister Imran Khan

The first day of the second Test was almost derailed after it emerged that the Pakistan Cricket Board were unhappy with Sky Sports’ decision to broadcast an interview with the two sons of the imprisoned former Pakistan captain and prime minister Imran Khan.

Cricinfo reported that the PCB briefly threatened to delay the resumption after the lunch break, during which Sky broadcast Mike Atherton’s interview with Suleiman and Kasim Khan, who said they feared for their father’s life following three years in jail on corruption charges.

Sky delayed broadcasting the 18-minute interview, and the Pakistan team eventually took the field as planned
