Khan was Pakistan's most successful cricket captain, leading his country to victory at the 1992 Cricket World Cup, playing for the Pakistani cricket team from 1971 to 1992, and serving as its captain intermittently throughout 1982–1992. Imran made his Test debut against England in 1971. One of the finest all-rounders of his era in both formats, Imran scored 3807 runs in Tests along with 362 wickets to his name. His limited overs debut came three years later after he represented Pakistan in Tests against the same opponent. Khan never disappointed his team as he had 182 scalps to his name and 3709 runs in the shorter format as well.
Since retiring, Khan has written opinion pieces on cricket for various British and Asian newspapers, especially regarding the Pakistani national team. His contributions have been published in India's Outlook magazine, the Guardian, the Independent, and the Telegraph. Khan also sometimes appears as a cricket commentator on Asian and British sports networks, including BBC Urduand the Star TV network. In 2004, when the Indian cricket team toured Pakistan after 14 years, he was a commentator on TEN Sports' special live show, Straight Drive, while he was also a columnist for sify.com for the 2005 India-Pakistan Test series.
