Former Australian captain Greg Chappell has once again pledged his support to former rival Imran Khan. A picture of Chappell wearing a 'Free Imran Khan' t-shirt has gone viral, with the former Pakistan PM in jail since 2023 over charges of corruption. His family have alleged that the 1992 World Cup winner's health is deteriorating and that his prison conditions are inhumane.
Former Australian captain Greg Chappell has attracted attention on social media after a photograph emerged showing him wearing a T-shirt bearing the message “Free Imran Khan.” The shirt features a portrait of former Pakistan captain and Prime Minister Imran Khan, along with a crescent-and-star symbol and the words “Cricket et al.”
The image has quickly circulated among cricket fans, given the longstanding association between Chappell and Khan as two of the most influential figures of their generation. Both men enjoyed illustrious international careers and were among the leading personalities in world cricket during the 1970s and 1980s.
What happened to Imran Khan?
The image, shared on social media, features Chappell wearing a white shirt bearing Khan's portrait and the slogan calling for his release. Khan, who has been in jail since August 2023, remains one of Pakistan's most prominent political figures. His party and family have repeatedly alleged that he has been subjected to isolation, restricted access to family members, lawyers and medical professionals, while raising concerns about his health and prison conditions.
