Mohammad Imran Khan (born 15 July 1987) is a Pakistani cricketer, born in Maidan valley of Lower Dir in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He made his Test match debut for Pakistan against Australia in the United Arab Emirates on 22 October 2014.[1] Imran has played domestically for Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Water and Power Development Authority, the National Bank of Pakistan, Zarai Taraqiati Bank, and the Peshawar Panthers.[2]

Imran and the Panthers side won the 2014–15 edition of the Haier T20 Cup, and another member of the tournament-winning team was Imran Khan (born 1988). For this reason, Imran Khan (born 1987), the subject of this article, is often recorded as "Mohammad Imran Khan" or "Imran Khan, Sr." on scorecards, while Imran Khan (born 1988) is often recorded as "Imran Khan (Swat)" or "Imran Khan, Jr.".[3]

He was the leading wicket-taker for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the 2017 Pakistan Cup, with six dismissals in three matches.[4]

In April 2018, he was named in Punjab's squad for the 2018 Pakistan Cup.[5][6]
