Born to Ikramullah Khan Niazi and Shaukat Khanum, Imran was the only son out of the five offsprings of the couple.
He received his primary education from Lahore, then moved to the United Kingdom (UK) for higher education, where he graduated from the University of Oxford.

Imran returned to Pakistan in 1971 after completing his education from the UK and joined Pakistan's national cricket team.
He also served as the captain of the team from 1982 and 1992. Under his leadership, Pakistan won the cricket World Cup in 1992.
In 1994, Imran laid the foundation of Shaukat Khanum Hospital for cancer treatment in the name of his mother.
