I spent the opening day of the season at Taunton. Always a pleasure to go to Somerset- a model county club; good players who challenge for silverware; prudently run- profitable, little debt; distinctive local flavour. thetimes.com/sport/cricket/…

Great to catch up with these Lancs legends last night 🌹 🌹

Should be the most intriguing start to the championship in years with so much in play and six rounds before first Test thetimes.com/sport/cricket/…

Today, I had the honour of speaking to the 47 countries that comprise the @UN #HumanRightsCouncil urging the immediate release of my father @imrankhanpti and all #Pakistan’s #politicalprisoners. Along with this, I want to be very clear. Like my father, I fully support maintaining GSP+ as the people of #Pakistan should never be punished for the actions of its leaders. But the Pakistani regime must also fully comply with the 27 treaties it committed to follow to obtain this benefit, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Convention Against Torture. @UN @ptiofficial #HumanRights #ImranKhanUnlawfullyDetained
