Former Pakistan player Sarfaraz Nawaz has accused his former teammate and the current Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan of consuming drugs in his playing days for Pakistan. Notably, Imran Khan was one of the finest pacers in the history of world cricket during his stint in the international circuit.
Apart from being a fantastic fast bowler, Imran was also a very inspiring leader. It was under his leadership that the Pakistan National Cricket Team won the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Imran had fantastic credentials to his name during his stint. Imran had 362 Test wickets to his name and adding up to it, he also had 182 wickets in One-Day Internationals (ODIs).

Former Pakistan Teammate Accuses Imran Khan Of Consuming Drugs
Former bowler Sarfaraz Nawaz has claimed that he has seen Khan consume drugs in 1987. Nawaz went to disclose the details also and said he has seen Khan consume Cocaine as well.
