As a result, he did not bat in Pakistan\u2019s first innings the following day, with the visitors bowled out for a meagre 110 in response to England\u2019s 290.<\/p>\n<p>He remained unavailable to bat in the second innings as well, when Pakistan were chasing 389 but were bowled out for 194, losing both the match and the series.<\/p>\n<p>The development reportedly prompted the PCB to launch a high-level investigation into Imam&#8217;s calf injury.<\/p>\n<p>The development also revived questions over an earlier incident involving Imam during Pakistan&#8217;s tour of New Zealand in March 2025.<\/p>\n<p>According to sources, a PCB inquiry committee had held Imam responsible for allegedly faking an injury during the tour. The incident reportedly occurred on March 28, 2025, when a ball struck his right big toe during an indoor net session.<\/p>\n<p>It reportedly held him responsible for fabricating, exaggerating or misrepresenting symptoms and misleading medical staff. The committee further concluded that Imam had deliberately attempted to make himself unavailable for the opening ODI.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/p>\n<p>
