Imam-ul-Haq faced scrutiny after a calf strain forced him out of batting in the first innings of the Lord's Test against England. This absence coincided with Pakistan's disappointing collapse to 110 runs, continuing their struggles on the tour. Former Pakistani batter Faisal Iqbal pointed out that such injuries might sometimes be exaggerated, drawing from his own experiences in domestic cricket. Additionally, ex-player Mohammad Wasim discussed concerns about fake injuries during a podcast, mentioning that sometimes players withdraw despite no real physical restrictions.
