From Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh,[1] Imran debuted for Services in February 2007, against Himachal Pradesh during the 2006–07 season of the Ranji Trophy One-Day tournament.[2] A right-handed top-order batsman, he opened the batting with Amit Pal Singh on debut, making nine runs before being bowled by Jitender Mehta.[3] Imran played three further one-day matches for Services, all within five days, from 16 to 20 February.[2] His highest score, 31 runs, came in his second match, against Jammu and Kashmir, and was the highest score of Services' innings.[4] However, he was dismissed without scoring from the first ball of his third match, against Delhi, and also made a duck in his final game, against Punjab.[5][6]

Imran went on to play for Services in the inaugural Inter-State T20 Championship in April 2007, playing five Twenty20 matches in six days.[7] He opened the batting with Tahir Khan in four of those games, but his highest score, 40 runs, came when opening with Yashpal Singh, against Himachal Pradesh.[8] After a gap of more than two years, Imran made three further Twenty20 appearances for Services, during the 2009–10 season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which replaced the previous Inter-State T20 Championship.[7] After a fourth-ball duck in the opening game against Himachal Pradesh,[9] he was pushed down the order to number three for following two matches, scoring 15 runs against Punjab and 31 against Delhi.[10][11] Imran finished his Twenty20 career with a batting average of 15.62 and a strike rate of 113.63.[12]
