Videos showed him practising with his leg heavily taped.
Other videos appeared to show him walking normally after he returned to Pakistan.
Former cricketers also criticised him.
An inquiry may examine what happened.
Meanwhile, an AI-made video pretended to show Imam explaining the injury.
The video uses funny lines from the movie “Welcome.”

Fictionalized version of the Pakistani opener in the viral AI-generated parody
“Meri ek taang nakli hai. Main cricket ka bahut bada khiladi tha. Ek din Bobzy bhai ko mere batting talent se jalan hui, toh mere hi cricket bat se meri taang ke do tukde kar diye. Lekin dil ke bahut achhe hain, fauran mujhe aspatal le gaye aur pairon mein patti bandhwa di. Mujhe playing eleven se bhi nahi nikala.”
