Imran Ali (cricketer, born 1971)


Imran Ali Khan is a former Pakistani cricketer. From Faisalabad, Punjab, Imran's first matches at a major level were played for the Pakistan University Grants Commission during the 1991–92 season. He played his first List A game for the team in that season's edition of the limited-overs Wills Gold Flake League, taking a single wicket in the match against the Pakistan Automobiles Corporation in February 1992. Imran's only match at first-class level for the Grants Commission was also played against the Automobiles Corporation, beginning the day after the conclusion of the one-day match. In the match, played as part of the Patron's Trophy, he failed to take a wicket bowling left-arm orthodox spin, and scored only one run while batting. Having made his first-class debut at the age of 20, Imran did not play another senior match until the 1998–99 season, when he turned out for Faisalabad in a single match in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. In what was to be his final match at first-class level, he took the wicket of Atiq-uz-Zaman in the Karachi Whites' second innings, and scored 27 runs batting ninth in Faisalabad's first innings, which included a 112-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Aaley Haider.
