Former Captain of the Pakistani Cricket team and a founder of Tehreek-E-Insaf political party. During his captaincy Pakistan won the World Cup in 1992. Imran was born on 25th November 1952 in Lahore, Pakistan. He grew up in Zaman Park where cricket was a great part of his family life.

Imran was educated at the prestigious Aitchison College, Lahore. He studied for his A-levels at the Royal Grammar School, Worcester and then went onto study Economics & Politics (B.A.) at Keble College, Oxford in 1972.

In 1982 he was made captain of the Pakistan team and led the Pakistani team under his captaincy to victory over every other cricketing country in the world. He moulded them into a great team through his skills and understanding and taught them what team spirit was and made the players give their best instead of just playing for themselves.

Imran vowed to build a Cancer Hospital after watching his mother die from the disease, which made him think about how poor people coped during such difficult times. Since retiring from Cricket in 1993 Imran has been devoting his time in the setting up and running the Cancer Hospital. Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital opened in Lahore in 1996 and the press and television covered this happiest moment in Imran’s life.

To raise money he organized door-to-door collections, charity launches and a Ramadan appeal. Imran was deeply shocked and realized that the only way to change things in Pakistan and to fight corruption was to create his own political party, Tehreek-E-Insaf (Justice Party) to help the needy.

He would make a great politician as he is great humanitarian, which a country like Pakistan desperately needs to progress. He wears traditional clothing most of the time in order to make people proud of their country.
