Wiry, skiddy, and armed with a natural inward angle, Mohammad Imran has become one of Pakistani domestic cricket's more reliable death bowling options. Born 20 January 2001 in Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the left-arm medium-fast bowler pairs deceptive arm speed with the kind of toe-crushing yorkers captains build death overs around. His stock ball skids on rather than sits up, which makes him awkward for batters looking to free their arms in the final overs.
Imran learned his cricket the way most Swat Valley kids do, on tape ball wickets where accuracy and a reliable yorker matter more than pace. That grounding translated well once he moved to hard ball cricket, and he climbed through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's youth ranks quickly. His List A debut came in January 2021, against Northern in the Pakistan Cup, and it barely took him a month to make his next leap.
Peshawar Zalmi picked him as an emerging player for PSL 2021, and his T20 debut that February showed a bowler unbothered by the occasion. Karachi Kings came calling for 2022 after he kept nailing wide yorkers under pressure. His numbers back up the reputation. Across his domestic career he has taken 6 for 16 in T20s and 6 for 45 in List A, both career bests that speak to genuine matchwinning spells rather than just containment.
In 2024 he took his game abroad, signing with Fortune Barishal in the Bangladesh Premier League and adjusting well to subcontinental conditions outside Pakistan. Back home, he stayed central to Peshawar's attack, whether that meant probing spells with the red ball in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy or squeezing overs in the National T20 Cup.
Through 2025 and into 2026 that role only grew. He struck important top-order blows against Abbottabad and Quetta in successive National T20 Cup seasons, and by August 2026 he was leading the pace attack for Pakistan Gold at the List A National Champions Cup, choking scoring rates and picking up wickets when it mattered.
