Imran Ali (Pakistan International Airlines cricketer)

Imran Ali (born 27 August 1987) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played several matches for Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) during the late 2000s. From Sahiwal, Punjab, Imran played five first-class matches for the team, with the first of these coming during the 2006–07 season and the last during the 2009–10 season.[1] A right-handed batsman, he had little success—he passed double figures only once, with his highest score, 17 runs, achieved against Lahore Shalimar in December 2009.[2] He finished his career with 36 runs from six innings, and failed to take any wickets from two overs bowling off-breaks.[3] ESPNcricinfo, a cricket website, incorrectly lists Imran as also having played a single List A match for PIA during the 2007–08 season.[4] The player in this match was in fact the similarly named Ali Imran.[5]
