Muhammad Imran Randhawa: Age, Stats and Pakistan Test Call-Up

Muhammad Imran Randhawa is a Pakistani pace-bowling all-rounder whose late-August 2026 call-up to the Test squad marked the biggest step of his career. The PCB named him among four uncapped replacements for the third Test against England in Birmingham after he helped Pakistan Gold win the National Champions Cup. Born in Khanewal on 25 December 1996, the right-handed batter and right-arm medium-fast bowler was 29 on 3 September 2026. His domestic record already included a first-class 179, best bowling of 6/28, a 37-ball 80 that carried Bahawalpur to the 2026 National T20 Cup Qualifier title, and representative appearances for Pakistan Shaheens. He had not played a Test when the squad announcement was made, so selection and an international debut remain separate facts.

Career story

Muhammad Imran Randhawa career and playing journey

Who is Muhammad Imran Randhawa?

Muhammad Imran Randhawa is a Pakistani all-rounder from Khanewal, Punjab. He bats right-handed and bowls right-arm medium-fast, with a domestic career that began in 2015 and grew across regional, departmental, franchise and Pakistan Shaheens cricket.

The PCB added him to Pakistan's Test squad on 31 August 2026 for the third match against England in Birmingham. The announcement described him as a right-arm pace-bowling all-rounder and one of the uncapped players joining the group. It confirmed his selection, not a Test appearance.

Which Muhammad Imran is covered here?

The subject is the Khanewal-born all-rounder also known as Imran Randhawa. PCB player ID 42271 links his date of birth, right-handed batting and right-arm medium-fast bowling to Bahawalpur, Southern Punjab and Pakistan Gold records.

Pakistan cricket has several players listed as Muhammad or Mohammad Imran. The National Champions Cup made the distinction especially important because Pakistan Gold also carried Mohammad Imran Jnr, a left-arm fast bowler from Swat. Randhawa's batting and bowling figures belong to a separate career.

How old is Muhammad Imran Randhawa?

Randhawa was 29 on 3 September 2026. The PCB gives his date of birth as 25 December 1996 and identifies Khanewal in Punjab as his birthplace.

A CricketArchive record lists 7 May 1997, creating a genuine date conflict. The official board date is used for his age while the disagreement remains documented in the research record. Combining the two dates or choosing whichever appears most often in search snippets would make the biography less reliable.

How did kabaddi lead Muhammad Imran Randhawa towards cricket?

Randhawa told PakPassion that kabaddi dominated his school years because it was popular where he lived, even though cricket remained his preferred sport. He began playing regional under-19 cricket for Bahawalpur and then committed to cricket after former first-class player Azhar Shafiq noticed him during a 2014 net session in Sindh.

That background helps explain why his route differed from a straight academy progression. Grade II cricket gave him a bridge into the senior system before Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited selected him for first-class cricket in November 2015.

When did Muhammad Imran Randhawa make his senior debuts?

Randhawa made his List A debut for Bahawalpur against Dera Murad Jamali in September 2015. His first-class debut followed for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited against Port Qasim Authority in the 2015/16 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.

Those debuts began a career spread across SNGPL, Bahawalpur, Southern Punjab, Multan, State Bank of Pakistan and OGDCL. Each competition asked for a different balance between seam bowling and lower-order batting, which is why his value cannot be reduced to one role taken from a single team sheet.

What was Muhammad Imran Randhawa's first major domestic breakthrough?

Randhawa shared the best-bowler award in the 2019/20 Cricket Association T20 competition after taking 13 wickets for Southern Punjab's second XI. PCB's annual report names him alongside Raza Ali Dar as the tournament's leading bowler.

He also took 23 wickets in the corresponding second XI Quaid-e-Azam Trophy campaign before moving into Southern Punjab's first-team plans. That progression matters because it shows performance at the level below rather than a sudden selection based only on potential.

What did Muhammad Imran Randhawa do in his first PSL appearance?

Peshawar Zalmi brought Randhawa into their 2020 playoff squad after Hasan Ali became unavailable. In the eliminator against Lahore Qalandars, he took 1/16 from two overs and dismissed Ben Dunk, while his first scoring shot in the PSL was a six.

Lahore still won by five wickets, so the debut should not be presented as a match-winning performance. It did show that Randhawa could enter a high-profile knockout match with little preparation and contribute in both disciplines.

Why does the 38 not out in the 2020 National T20 final matter?

Southern Punjab needed 207 to beat Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the 2020 National T20 final. Randhawa entered late and made 38 not out from 13 balls, hitting two fours and four sixes as his team reached 196/8.

The innings did not change the ten-run defeat, but it displayed the power that later supported his all-rounder label. A lower-order batter facing only 13 balls has little time to build an average; strike rate, match situation and the remaining target explain more about that specific contribution.

How did Muhammad Imran Randhawa score his first-class best of 179?

Randhawa made 179 from 195 balls for Southern Punjab against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at Faisalabad in November 2021. He struck 21 fours and five sixes as Southern Punjab recovered from 98/5 and reached 453.

The match ended in a draw after Sahibzada Farhan's 163 helped Khyber Pakhtunkhwa respond. Randhawa's innings remains his first-class high score and the clearest evidence that his batting can extend beyond late hitting. It demanded a long recovery innings rather than a short cameo.

What made the 6/28 against Karachi Whites his best bowling performance?

Randhawa took 6/28 from 20 overs for Bahawalpur against Karachi Whites in November 2024. PCB reported that his spell helped dismiss Karachi for 214 and gave Bahawalpur a 34-run first-innings lead.

The six-wicket return became his first-class best. Across the 2024/25 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy he finished with 21 wickets from five matches at 20.24, conceding 3.29 runs per over. That season output gives the career-best spell context instead of treating six wickets as an isolated scorecard line.

How did Muhammad Imran Randhawa perform in the 2024 Champions One-Day Cup?

Playing for the Markhors against the Dolphins, Randhawa scored 27 and took 3/28 as his team won by 92 runs. His three-wicket burst helped turn 135/5 into 161/8 before the Dolphins were dismissed for 192.

The match showed a useful one-day combination: runs from the lower order, then wickets when the chase needed acceleration. It also preceded his Pakistan Shaheens selection later in 2024, placing the representative call-up inside a run of visible senior performances.

When did Muhammad Imran Randhawa join Pakistan Shaheens?

PCB selected Randhawa for Pakistan Shaheens' 50-over series against Sri Lanka A in November 2024. He was then named in the Shaheens squad that faced Afghanistan in a Champions Trophy warm-up match in February 2025.

A Shaheens call-up is representative cricket, not a senior Pakistan cap. It shows that selectors were testing his skills around international-standard opposition and environments. PCB also included him in its Pakistan Strike Force camp, a programme intended to develop white-ball depth through 2028.

What leadership experience does Muhammad Imran Randhawa have?

Bahawalpur named Randhawa captain for the 2025 National T20 Cup and again for the 2026 competition. He also served as vice-captain in Bahawalpur's 2025/26 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy squad.

Those appointments show responsibility across both short and long formats. They do not make him the permanent captain of every side he represents. His role changed when he joined teams such as Multan Sultans and Pakistan Gold, where established national players held the leadership positions.

How did the 37-ball 80 win Bahawalpur the 2026 qualifier?

Randhawa produced his T20 career-best 80 from 37 balls in the National T20 Cup Qualifier final on 24 February 2026. He hit five fours and six sixes as Bahawalpur surged from 45 after ten overs to 172/5.

Karachi Blues were then bowled out for 113, giving Bahawalpur a 59-run victory and ending the opponent's unbeaten run. Randhawa was player of the match. The innings also secured a trophy after qualification had already been earned, making it both an individual best and a title-winning captain's performance.

What did Muhammad Imran Randhawa add in the 2026 National T20 Cup?

Randhawa remained Bahawalpur captain when the main National T20 Cup began in Peshawar. Against Karachi Whites he made 55 from 35 balls, striking one four and five sixes in a total of 185/8.

Karachi won the rain-affected match by 12 runs under the DLS method. The innings still confirmed that his qualifier final was not his only substantial score of the season. He could move from rebuilding into boundary hitting, although Bahawalpur's team results did not always follow his personal contribution.

How did Muhammad Imran Randhawa perform for Multan Sultans in PSL 2026?

PCB's Multan Sultans averages list Randhawa in five PSL 2026 matches. He scored 42 runs from four innings, remained not out twice and took three wickets from 102 balls. His best bowling was 1/9.

The sample included an unbeaten 26 against Karachi Kings and nine not out from three balls against Hyderabad Kingsmen. His tournament bowling average of 50 and economy of 8.82 show a modest return with the ball, so the season should be described as useful squad exposure rather than a dominant PSL campaign.

What was Muhammad Imran Randhawa's record for Pakistan Gold?

Randhawa played all four matches as Pakistan Gold won the 2026/27 National Champions Cup. PCB's tournament tables record 34 runs from three innings and four wickets from 166 balls, with best bowling of 2/30.

He took 2/30 against Pakistan Blues, removed Shadab Khan in the league match against Pakistan Greens and dismissed Usman Khan against Pakistan Whites. In the final he scored seven from four balls as Gold made 340 and won by 101 runs. His four wickets cost 39.25 each at an economy rate of 5.67.

Why was the August 2026 Pakistan Test squad call-up significant?

PCB added Randhawa to the Pakistan squad on 31 August after the Lord's Test against England. He joined ahead of the third Test in Birmingham alongside other replacements, including Mohammad Imran Jnr, Saad Baig and Razaullah.

The release called Randhawa an uncapped right-arm pace-bowling all-rounder. Selection put him closer to a Test debut than at any earlier point, but a squad place does not create an appearance, cap, innings or wicket. Only the final playing XI and completed scorecard can do that.

What do Muhammad Imran Randhawa's career statistics show?

The dated career snapshot through 3 May 2026 records 58 first-class matches, 2,255 runs and 110 wickets. It also lists 81 List A matches with 961 runs and 78 wickets, plus 66 T20s with 796 runs and 42 wickets.

Later official competition rows are shown separately because public databases did not all display the same refresh date. First-class, List A and T20 cricket are distinct formats, while PSL and National Champions Cup figures sit inside their broader T20 and List A careers once a provider updates the aggregate. Adding every row together would double-count matches.

Is Muhammad Imran Randhawa mainly a batter or bowler?

Randhawa's strongest selection case is the combination of right-arm seam and middle-to-lower-order hitting. His first-class record contains 110 wickets and a 6/28 best, while 2,255 runs, two hundreds and a high score of 179 show genuine batting depth.

The balance changes by format. In first-class cricket he can bowl long spells and build an innings. In T20 cricket teams may value a short boundary-hitting cameo and two or three overs. Calling him only a bowler would miss the 179 and title-winning 80; calling him a specialist batter would understate the wicket-taking record.

What is known about Muhammad Imran Randhawa's salary and net worth?

No audited public record establishes Randhawa's current salary, lifetime earnings or net worth. Team selections, tournament contracts and published player categories do not reveal the amount he kept after tax, bonuses, availability terms and other deductions.

A reported PSL price can describe one agreement, but it cannot support a precise personal wealth estimate. Figures repeated by biography and entertainment sites should therefore be treated as unconfirmed unless a player, team, board or financial filing supplies evidence for the exact claim.

Is Muhammad Imran Randhawa's family or relationship status public?

Reliable cricket sources document Randhawa's birthplace, kabaddi background and career but do not provide enough current evidence for a detailed account of his parents, spouse, children or relationship status.

Private photographs and repeated social-media claims do not establish those facts. His family does not need to become public material for readers to understand how he moved from Bahawalpur cricket into the Pakistan Test squad.

What are Muhammad Imran Randhawa's biggest achievements?

Randhawa's leading achievements include a first-class 179, best bowling of 6/28, a 13-wicket best-bowler award in the 2019/20 second XI T20 competition, and captaincy of Bahawalpur across national tournaments.

His 37-ball 80 delivered the 2026 National T20 Cup Qualifier title, while four matches for champion Pakistan Gold preceded his first Pakistan Test squad call-up. The next milestone would be an actual senior international appearance, which was still unconfirmed when this record was checked.

His 2026 season added PSL experience and a championship with Pakistan Gold before the Birmingham call-up. A senior international debut remained the next step when the squad was announced, so future updates must come from the final playing XI and completed scorecard.
