An assassination attempt on former Pakistan Prime Minister and ex-cricketer Imran Khan has been 'strongly condemned' by the nation's current cricket stars.
Khan, who famously captained Pakistan in their victorious 1992 Cricket World Cup campaign, was shot in the leg during a political rally in Wazirabad, Punjab. The 70-year-old was leading a march to the capital city Islamabad to demand a general election after he was ousted as Prime Minister in April, having lost a no confidence vote in parliament.
During the march, a gunman opened fire on a container truck Khan was standing on alongside party officials and images have shown him getting taken away from the scene in a vehicle with a bandage on his right leg.
