- An appeal drafted by former Australia captain Greg Chappell was delivered to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, pressing for immediate, ongoing treatment by qualified specialists.
- Signatories include Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Belinda Clark, Michael Atherton, Nasser Hussain, Michael Brearley, David Gower, Clive Lloyd and John Wright.
- The letter calls for humane detention conditions with regular family visits and fair, transparent access to legal processes.
- The Supreme Court reviewed updated jail and amicus reports, found general living conditions largely consistent, and ordered an ophthalmology team to examine Khan after noting serious vision concerns.
