Former Australian cricket captains write to foreign minister over Imran Khan's detention
Most outlets reported that seven former Australian cricket captains wrote to Foreign Minister Penny Wong to raise concerns about Imran Khan's detention, often emphasizing the humanitarian aspect or the captains' personal connection to the issue.
