Seven former Australian cricket captains wrote to Foreign Minister Penny Wong about humanitarian concerns over Imran Khan’s detention.

Allan Border, Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell, Belinda Clark, Kim Hughes, Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh signed the letter.

They said they were writing not as diplomats or politicians, but as former Australian captains concerned about Khan.

They raised concerns about limited medical care, restricted family contact and little access to legal help.
