Jailed former prime minister Imran Khan disapproved the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government's decision to rename Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium after the cricketer-turned-politician's name, his sister said on Tuesday.

Aleema Khan, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party founder's sister, told the media after meeting her brother in jail that Khan, 72, did not like the provincial government's decision to rename the cricket stadium in Peshawar after him.

"I don't like anything to be named after me. So the stadium's name should be reverted to the original," Khan told Aleema.
