Imran Khan

Imran Khan (Mohammad Imran Khan Niazi; born November 25 1952), was a Pakistani cricketer (1971–1992) and captain of the Pakistani cricket team. He is currently a member of the National Assembly, the lower house of the Pakistani parliament.

World Cup 1992

Imran's ultimate moment of glory as a captain and cricketer came at the end of his career, when he led Pakistan to victory in the World Cup Cricket 1992. The highlight of this win was the fact that Pakistan recovered from a very poor start, thanks largely to some young players in their team who had barely been heard of prior to the World Cup.

A combination of a shoulder injury that he carried through the world cup as well as differences with some senior members over the fact that many of the prizes (or rewards) were being garnered by Imran's charity hospital led to his retirement after the World Cup.
