Cricket Team sport played with bats and balls

Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 20-metre (22-yard) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this and dismiss each player. Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground. When ten players have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches. They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match's statistical information.

Malawi, officially the Republic of Malawi, is a landlocked country in southeast Africa that was formerly known as Nyasaland. It is bordered by Zambia to the northwest, Tanzania to the northeast, and Mozambique on the east, south and west. Malawi is over 118,000 km2 (45,560 sq mi) with an estimated population of 18,091,575. Lake Malawi takes up about a third of Malawi's area. Its capital is Lilongwe, which is also Malawi's largest city; the second largest is Blantyre, the third is Mzuzu and the fourth largest is its old capital Zomba. The name Malawi comes from the Maravi, an old name of the Nyanja people that inhabit the area. The country is also nicknamed "The Warm Heart of Africa" because of the friendliness of the people.

Born in Hyderabad District, Imran made his List A debut for South Zone during the 1981–82 season, playing three matches in the Wills Cup. [1] That season's tournament was the only edition to feature a South Zone side, [2] 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. [3] He followed this with 13 runs against Habib Bank, [4] 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. [5]

List A cricket is a classification of the limited-overs (one-day) form of the sport of cricket. List A cricket includes One Day International (ODI) matches and various domestic competitions in which the number of overs in an innings per team ranges from forty to sixty, as well as some international matches involving nations who have not achieved official ODI status. Together with first-class and Twenty20 cricket, List A is one of the three major forms of cricket recognised by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

In cricket, a duck is a batsman's dismissal for a score of zero.

[6] 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.

[10] 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. [11] He also took three wickets at the tournament with limited bowling time, including 2/17 from a five-over spell against Argentina. [12] Aged 33, Imran was appointed captain of East and Central Africa for the 1997 ICC Trophy in Malaysia. [13] 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).
