From Sibi, a city in Balochistan, Imran debuted for Sibi District in inter-district matches during the 2007-2008 Inter-District Senior Tournament. He made his first-class debut for Quetta in February 2009, aged 19, in the 2008-2009 Quaid-i-Azam Trophy. He played three further Quaid-i-Azam matches during the 2008-2009 season, against Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Hyderabad, but took only three wickets in those matches.
He also appeared in a single Quaid-i-Azam match during the 2009-2010 season, against Multan.
Later in the 2008-2009 season, Imran had played four matches for the Quetta Bears franchise in the one-day Royal Bank of Scotland Cup. Against the Abbottabad Rhinos, he opened the bowling with Naik Mohammad, taking 3/48 from 10 overs, and also scoring 20 runs from ninth in the batting order.
Earlier in the match, the Dolphins had scored 364/2 from their 50 overs, with their captain, Khalid Latif, scoring 204 not out, one of the few double centuries in limited-overs cricket. Imran played one other limited-overs match for the Bears franchise, against the Multan Tigers in February 2012, and also appeared once for the Bears at Twenty20 level, during the 2010-2011 season of the Faysal Bank T20 Cup.
