“There have been attempts to almost erase Imran Khan from public view”

LONDON: Former England captain and renowned cricket commentator Michael Atherton interviewed Imran Khan’s sons, Kasim and Sulaiman Khan, at Lord’s Cricket Ground during the ongoing second Test match between England and Pakistan.

The interview carried added significance as it took place at the historic venue where their father, Imran Khan, led Pakistan to a memorable Test victory over England in 1982, Pakistan’s first-ever Test win at Lord’s.

The appearance of Kasim and Sulaiman at the Home of Cricket drew considerable attention on social media, with fans highlighting the connection between one of Pakistan cricket’s most iconic figures and the historic ground where he created a lasting piece of cricketing history.

Atherton’s conversation with Imran Khan’s sons also brought renewed focus to the former Pakistan captain’s enduring legacy in international cricket, decades after his achievements as a player.

Atherton highlighted the difficulty of removing Imran Khan from public consciousness in the modern era, saying: “There have been attempts to almost erase Imran Khan from public view, which is difficult to do in the age of social media.”

The moment at Lord’s quickly became a talking point among cricket fans, particularly those familiar with Imran Khan’s historic performances at the venue.
