– CricketArchive. Retrieved 8 April 2015. That season's tournament was the only edition to feature a South Zone side, and none of the team's players had previous list-A experience. A right-handed batsman, on debut against Karachi Imran scored a duck, coming in third in the batting order. He followed this with 13 runs against Habib Bank, and another then duck, against United Bank. In the latter match he was one of four South Zone players to make ducks, as the team was bowled out for 61. Imran played no further high-level matches until the 1984–85 season, when he appeared once for Hyderabad in the President's Trophy one-day tournament. In the match, played against Quetta in March 1985, he topscored with 40 runs in Hyderabad's innings of 140 all out, which was to be his highest list-A score. Imran maintained his involvement with cricket after moving to Malawi to work, and subsequently gained selection for East and Central Africa, a combined team featuring players from Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. He made his competitive debut for them at the 1994 ICC Trophy in Kenya, playing in all seven of the team's matches. Against Singapore, he scored 141 runs out of a total of 266/8, helping East and Central Africa to its first victory of the tournament. Imran's innings set a record (never beaten) for the highest score by an East and Central Africa player in any ICC Trophy, and was the second-highest score by any player at the 1994 tournament, behind only Maurice Odumbe's 158 not out against Bermuda. He was easily East and Central Africa's leading runscorer at the tournament, with 221 runs from six innings, over 100 more than the next-best player. He also took three wickets at the tournament with limited bowling time, including 2/17 from a five-over spell against Argentina. Aged 33, Imran was appointed captain of East and Central Africa for the 1997 ICC Trophy in Malaysia. Both he and his team had little success at the tournament, and his best performance came as a bowler, when he took 3/6 against West Africa in the 17th-place playoff (the only match his team won).East and Central Africa v West Africa
