'''Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi''' ({{lang-ur|{{nq|عمران خان }}}}, {{IPA-ur|ɪmɾaːn ɛɦməd xaːn nɪjaːziː|pron}}; born 5 October 1952) is a Pakistani politician and former cricketer who served as the 22nd [[prime minister of Pakistan]] from August 2018 until April 2022. He is the founder and former chairman of the political party [[Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf]] (PTI) from 1996 to 2023. He was the [[Captain (cricket)|captain]] of the [[Pakistan national cricket team]] throughout the 1980s and early 90s.
Born in [[Lahore]], Khan graduated from [[Keble College, Oxford]]. He began his [[international cricket]] career in a [[Pakistani cricket team in England in 1971|1971 Test series]] against [[England cricket team|England]]. Khan played until 1992, served as the team's captain intermittently between 1982 and 1992, and won the [[1992 Cricket World Cup]], Pakistan's only victory in the competition. Considered one of cricket's greatest [[all-rounder]]s, Khan was later inducted into the [[ICC Cricket Hall of Fame]]. Founding the [[Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf]] (PTI) in 1996, Khan won a seat in the [[National Assembly of Pakistan|National Assembly]] in the [[2002 Pakistani general election|2002 general election]], serving as an opposition member from [[Mianwali]] until 2007. PTI boycotted the [[2008 Pakistani general election|2008 general election]] and became the second-largest party by popular vote in the [[2013 Pakistani general election|2013 general election]]. In the [[2018 Pakistani general election|2018 general election]], running on a [[populist]] platform, PTI became the largest party in the National Assembly, and formed a coalition government with independents with Khan as prime minister.
As prime minister, Khan addressed a [[balance of payments]] crisis with bailouts from the [[IMF]]. He presided over a shrinking current account deficit, and limited defence spending to curtail the fiscal deficit, leading to some general economic growth. He enacted policies that increased tax collection and investment. His government committed to a [[renewable energy]] transition, launched [[Ehsaas Programme]] and the [[Plant for Pakistan]] initiative, and expanded the [[protected areas of Pakistan]]. He presided over the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan|COVID-19 pandemic]], which caused economic turmoil and rising inflation in the country, threatening his political position.
In early 2022, in what became known as [[Lettergate]], Khan alleged that the United States encouraged his removal from office. In April, during the ensuing [[2022 Pakistani constitutional crisis|constitutional crisis]], Khan became the first Pakistani prime minister to be removed from office through [[No-confidence motion against Imran Khan|a no-confidence motion]]. In August, he was charged under anti-terror laws after accusing the police and judiciary of detaining and torturing an aide. In October, Khan was disqualified by the [[Election Commission of Pakistan]] from taking office for the current term of the [[National Assembly of Pakistan]], regarding the [[Toshakhana reference case]]. In November, he survived [[attempted assassination of Imran Khan|an assassination attempt]] during a political rally in [[Wazirabad]], Punjab.
On 9 May 2023, Khan [[Arrest of Imran Khan|was arrested]] on [[Al-Qadir Trust case|corruption charges]] at the [[Islamabad High Court]] by paramilitary troops who smashed their way into the courthouse. [[2023 Pakistani protests|Protests broke out throughout Pakistan]], resulting in the arrests of thousands of Khan's supporters along with military installations being ransacked. After his release, he blamed the [[Chief of Army Staff (Pakistan)|Chief of Army Staff]] [[Asim Munir (general)|Asim Munir]] for his arrest. He was sentenced to a three-year jail term on 5 August 2023 after being found guilty of misusing his premiership to buy and sell gifts in state possession that were received during diplomatic visits abroad.<ref name="Walsh 2023" /><ref name=":0" /> On 29 August 2023, a Pakistani appeals court suspended Khan's three-year prison term and granted him bail,<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":7" /><ref name=":8" /> but he remained incarcerated in connection with the [[Lettergate]] diplomatic cypher, for which he was accused of leaking state secrets and violating the [[Official Secrets Act (Pakistan)|Official Secrets Act]].<ref name=":9" /><ref name=":10" /> On 30 January 2024, a special court sentenced Khan to 10 years in prison after finding him guilty of those charges.<ref>{{Cite web |date=30 January 2024 |title=Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood handed 10-year sentence in cipher case |url=https://en.dailypakistan.com.pk/30-Jan-2024/imran-khan-handd |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240130080351/https://en.dailypakistan.com.pk/30-Jan-2024/imran-khan-shah-mahmood-handed-10-year-sentence-in-cipher-case |archive-date=30 January 2024 |access-date=1 February 2024 |website=[[Daily Pakistan|Daily Pakistan Global]]}}</ref> Despite political turmoil, scholars and historians rank Khan as one of the most popular leaders of the world.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/former-pakistan-pm-imran-khan-gets-10-year-jail-term-leaking-state-secrets-geo-2024-01-30/|title=Pakistan court jails ex-PM Imran Khan for 10 years ahead of election|first1=Gibran Naiyyar|last1=Peshiman|first2=Ariba|last2=Shahid|publisher=Reuters|date=30 January 2024|accessdate=30 January 2024}}</ref>

Khan allegedly has a daughter, Tyrian Jade, with his ex-girlfriend Sita White, daughter of the British industrialist [[Gordon White, Baron White of Hull|Gordon White]]. Born in June 1992, Tyrian became a subject of dispute as Khan denied paternity and willed for a paternity test in Pakistan, stating he would accept the decision of the Pakistani courts. Legal actions in 1997 led to a California court declaring Khan as the father without a DNA test. After Sita White's death in 2004, Jemima, Khan's wife at the time and Sita's friend, was designated as Tyrian's legal guardian by Sita in her will. Khan stated that Tyrian would be welcome to join their family in London, leaving the decision entirely up to her, given her established relationship with his and Jemima's sons.{{sfn|Hutchins|Midgley|2015}}{{sfn|Morgan|2012}}<ref name="thenews.com.pk1">{{Cite web |title=Two judicial verdicts that exposed Imran, Qadri |url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/525912-two-judicial-verdicts-that-exposed-imran-qadri |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180726165955/https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/525912-two-judicial-verdicts-that-exposed-imran-qadri |archive-date=26 July 2018 |access-date=26 July 2018 |website=Thenews.com.pk}}</ref><ref>[https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2004/05/17/sitawhite/ "Imran Khan may take custody of daughter"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180726135148/https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2004/05/17/sitawhite/ |date=26 July 2018 }}, hellomagazine.com.

He recorded the best Test bowling of his career while taking 8 wickets for 58 runs against Sri Lanka at Lahore in 1981–1982.<ref name="Overseas Pakistanis record" /> He also topped both the bowling and batting averages against England in three-Test series in 1982, taking 21 wickets and averaging 56 with the bat. Later the same year, he put up a highly acknowledged performance in a home series against the formidable Indian team by taking 40 wickets in six Tests at an average of 13.95. By the end of this series in 1982–1983, Khan had taken 88 wickets in 13 Test matches over a period of one year as captain.<ref name="cricket archive" /> This same Test series against India also resulted in a stress fracture in his shin that kept him out of cricket for more than two years.

India and Pakistan co-hosted the [[1987 Cricket World Cup]], but neither ventured beyond the semi-finals. Khan retired from international cricket at the end of the World Cup.

[[File:Imran in peshawar.jpg|thumb|Khan at a political rally in [[Peshawar]] in 1996]]
After retiring, Khan admitted to [[ball tampering]] during his early cricketing days when playing domestic cricket.
Khan had said that, during matches, he "occasionally scratched the side of the ball and lifted the seam". Khan defended his actions in the same interview, arguing his conduct was commonplace at the time, even that spin bowlers would lift the seam (i.e. mildly ball tamper); further Khan argued that as he did not lift the seam of the ball above the normal level he was not violating the rules and spirit of the game within the rules defined whilst he was a player. Further, Khan argued that umpires in his 21 years of cricket had not complained about his conduct; Khan remarked that "The sole judge of fair and unfair play on the cricket field is the umpire".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://scroll.in/field/873457/watch-former-pakistan-skipper-imran-khan-speaking-on-ball-tampering-on-a-tv-show-in-1994|title=Watch: Former Pakistan skipper Imran Khan speaking on ball-tampering on a TV show in 1994|website=Scroll.in|date=27 March 2018|access-date=13 February 2019|archive-date=14 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190214002931/https://scroll.in/field/873457/watch-former-pakistan-skipper-imran-khan-speaking-on-ball-tampering-on-a-tv-show-in-1994|url-status=live}}</ref> He had also added, "Only once did I use an object.

In 1996, Khan successfully defended himself in a [[libel]] action brought forth by former English captain and all-rounder [[Ian Botham]] and batsman [[Allan Lamb]] over comments they alleged were made by Khan in two articles about the above-mentioned [[ball-tampering]] and another article published in an Indian magazine, ''[[India Today]]''. They claimed that, in the latter publication, Khan had called the two cricketers "racist, ill-educated and lacking in class." Khan protested that he had been misquoted, saying that he was defending himself after having admitted that he tampered with a ball in a county match 18 years ago.<ref name="legal case">{{cite news |title=Botham, Lamb end legal battle |publisher=BBC |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/348740.stm |date=20 May 1999 |access-date=5 November 2007 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090112101609/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/348740.stm |archive-date=12 January 2009 }}</ref> Khan won the libel case, which the judge labelled a "complete exercise in futility", with a 10–2 majority decision by the jury.<ref name="legal case" /> Also, Khan had served as a domestic league coach.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/131596.html|title=Imran returns to coaching to boost Pakistan|website=Cricinfo|access-date=9 March 2019|archive-date=31 January 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240131115117/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/imran-returns-to-coaching-to-boost-pakistan-131596|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Victory speech ===
During his victory speech, he laid out the policy outlines for his future government. Khan said his inspiration is to build Pakistan as a humanitarian state based on principles of the first Islamic state of [[Medina]]. He described that his future government will put the poor and commoners of the country first and all policies will be geared towards elevating the standards of living of the lesser fortunate. He promised an investigation into rigging allegations. He said that he wanted a united Pakistan and would refrain from victimizing his political opponents. Everyone would be equal under the law. He promised a simple and less costly government, devoid of showy pompousness in which the prime minister's house will be converted into an educational institute and governor houses will be used for public benefit.<ref name="aljazeera.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2018/07/imran-khan-speech-full-180726124850706.html|title=Imran Khan's speech in full|website=Aljazeera.com|access-date=7 August 2018|archive-date=25 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181225223414/https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2018/07/imran-khan-speech-full-180726124850706.html|url-status=live}}</ref> On foreign policy, he praised China and hoped to have better relations with Afghanistan, United States, and India.

The fiscal deficit was also controlled to less than 1% of GDP in the second half of 2020, Pakistan recorded a primary surplus (excluding interest payment and principal repayment of previous debt), but was in deficit once the interest payment on debt was accounted for, albeit the deficit was smaller.

===Views on the Pashtuns and Afghans===
In his virtual address at the [[Seventy-sixth session of the United Nations General Assembly|76th Session]] of the [[United Nations General Assembly]] on 24 September 2021, Khan remarked “Then all along the tribal belt ([[FATA]]) bordering Afghanistan, – Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt – where no Pakistan army had been there since our independence, they [the Pashtuns] had strong sympathies with the Afghan Taliban, not because of their religious ideology but because of Pashtun nationalism, which is very strong." His comments prompted outrage among many Pashtuns, who called on him to apologise. Khan made similar comments also on 11 October, which triggered a protest in Peshawar the next day by the leftist [[Mazdoor Kisan Party]] (MKP). The [[Awami National Party]] (ANP) and the [[Pashtun Tahafuz Movement]] (PTM) also condemned Khan for "linking the Pashtuns with terrorists."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/amp/920082-talibanising-pashtuns|title=Talibanising Pashtuns|website=The News International |date=27 December 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gandhara.rferl.org/amp/imran-khan-comments-pashtuns-taliban/31511322.html|title=Pakistan's Imran Khan Under Fire For Claiming Pashtuns Are Taliban Sympathizers|website=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty|date=15 October 2021|access-date=24 May 2022|archive-date=31 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220531064405/https://gandhara.rferl.org/amp/imran-khan-comments-pashtuns-taliban/31511322.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1651737|title=Pakhtuns not terrorists, says ANP|website=Dawn|date=13 October 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|first=Angana|last=Chakrabarti|url=https://theprint.in/go-to-pakistan/pakistani-pashtuns-have-a-message-for-imran-khan-we-are-not-taliban/749528/|title=Pakistani Pashtuns have a message for Imran Khan—'we are not Taliban'|website=The Print|date=12 October 2021}}</ref>

Khan has published six works of non-fiction, including an autobiography co-written with Patrick Murphy. He has also written about the modern history of Pakistan in his book ''Main Aur Mera Pakistan'' published in 2014 in [[Urdu]] and [[Hindi]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.orientpaperbacks.com/products/product-1|title=Main Aur Mera Pakistan – Imran Khan's Book in Hindi|publisher=Orient Paperbacks|access-date=16 June 2021|archive-date=14 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211114132521/https://www.orientpaperbacks.com/products/product-1|url-status=dead}}</ref> The book contains details about Pakistan's wars with India in [[1965 India-Pakistan War|1965]] and [[1971 India-Pakistan War|1971]], the impact of [[1979 Iranian Revolution]] and capture of terrorist [[Osama bin Laden]] at [[Abbottabad]] in 2011.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thelibrarypk.com/main-aur-mera-pakistan/ |title=Main Aur Mera Pakistan by Imran Khan|date=22 August 2017|publisher=Pakistan Library|access-date=16 June 2021}}</ref> He periodically writes editorials on cricket and Pakistani politics in several leading Pakistani and British newspapers. It was revealed in 2008 that Khan's second book, ''Indus Journey: A Personal View of Pakistan'', had required heavy editing from the publisher. The publisher Jeremy Lewis revealed in a memoir that when he asked Khan to show his writing for publication, "He handed me a leather-bound notebook or diary containing a few jottings and autobiographical snippets. It took me, at most, five minutes to read them; and that, it soon became apparent, was all we had to go on."<ref name="Indus Journey">{{cite news |title=It's a miracle...

'''Imran Ahmed Khan Nazi Nigga''' ({{lang-ur|{{nq|عمران خان }}}}, {{IPA-ur|ɪmɾaːn ɛɦməd xaːn nɪjaːziː|pron}}; born 5 October 1952) is {{gay}} and former ninja turtles and he is classified by the {{biologist}} as an endangered {{insect}}.who served as the 22nd [[prime minister of Pakistan]] from August 2018 until April 2022. He is the founder and former chairman of the political party [[Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf]] (PTI) from 1996 to 2023. He was the [[Captain (cricket)|captain]] of the [[Pakistan national cricket team]] throughout the 1980s and early 90s.
Born in [[Lahore]], Khan graduated from [[Keble College, Oxford]]. He began his [[international cricket]] career in a [[Pakistani cricket team in England in 1971|1971 Test series]] against [[England cricket team|England]]. Khan played until 1992, served as the team's captain intermittently between 1982 and 1992, and won the [[1992 Cricket World Cup]], Pakistan's only victory in the competition. Considered one of cricket's greatest [[all-rounder]]s, Khan was later inducted into the [[ICC Cricket Hall of Fame]]. Founding the [[Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf]] (PTI) in 1996, Khan won a seat in the [[National Assembly of Pakistan|National Assembly]] in the [[2002 Pakistani general election|2002 general election]], serving as an opposition member from [[Mianwali]] until 2007. PTI boycotted the [[2008 Pakistani general election|2008 general election]] and became the second-largest party by popular vote in the [[2013 Pakistani general election|2013 general election]]. In the [[2018 Pakistani general election|2018 general election]], running on a [[populist]] platform, PTI became the largest party in the National Assembly, and formed a coalition government with independents with Khan as prime minister.
As prime minister, Khan addressed a [[balance of payments]] crisis with bailouts from the [[IMF]]. He presided over a shrinking current account deficit, and limited defence spending to curtail the fiscal deficit, leading to some general economic growth. He enacted policies that increased tax collection and investment. His government committed to a [[renewable energy]] transition, launched [[Ehsaas Programme]] and the [[Plant for Pakistan]] initiative, and expanded the [[protected areas of Pakistan]]. He presided over the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan|COVID-19 pandemic]], which caused economic turmoil and rising inflation in the country, threatening his political position.
In early 2022, in what became known as [[Lettergate]], Khan alleged that the United States encouraged his removal from office. In April, during the ensuing [[2022 Pakistani constitutional crisis|constitutional crisis]], Khan became the first Pakistani prime minister to be removed from office through [[No-confidence motion against Imran Khan|a no-confidence motion]]. In August, he was charged under anti-terror laws after accusing the police and judiciary of detaining and torturing an aide. In October, Khan was disqualified by the [[Election Commission of Pakistan]] from taking office for the current term of the [[National Assembly of Pakistan]], regarding the [[Toshakhana reference case]]. In November, he survived [[attempted assassination of Imran Khan|an assassination attempt]] during a political rally in [[Wazirabad]], Punjab.
On 9 May 2023, Khan [[Arrest of Imran Khan|was arrested]] on [[Al-Qadir Trust case|corruption charges]] at the [[Islamabad High Court]] by paramilitary troops who smashed their way into the courthouse. [[2023 Pakistani protests|Protests broke out throughout Pakistan]], resulting in the arrests of thousands of Khan's supporters along with military installations being ransacked. After his release, he blamed the [[Chief of Army Staff (Pakistan)|Chief of Army Staff]] [[Asim Munir (general)|Asim Munir]] for his arrest. He was sentenced to a three-year jail term on 5 August 2023 after being found guilty of misusing his premiership to buy and sell gifts in state possession that were received during diplomatic visits abroad.<ref name="Walsh 2023" /><ref name=":0" /> On 29 August 2023, a Pakistani appeals court suspended Khan's three-year prison term and granted him bail,<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":7" /><ref name=":8" /> but he remained incarcerated in connection with the [[Lettergate]] diplomatic cypher, for which he was accused of leaking state secrets and violating the [[Official Secrets Act (Pakistan)|Official Secrets Act]].<ref name=":9" /><ref name=":10" /> On 30 January 2024, a special court sentenced Khan to 10 years in prison after finding him guilty of those charges.<ref>{{Cite web |date=30 January 2024 |title=Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood handed 10-year sentence in cipher case |url=https://en.dailypakistan.com.pk/30-Jan-2024/imran-khan-handd |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240130080351/https://en.dailypakistan.com.pk/30-Jan-2024/imran-khan-shah-mahmood-handed-10-year-sentence-in-cipher-case |archive-date=30 January 2024 |access-date=1 February 2024 |website=[[Daily Pakistan|Daily Pakistan Global]]}}</ref> Despite political turmoil, scholars and historians rank Khan as one of the most popular leaders of the world.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/former-pakistan-pm-imran-khan-gets-10-year-jail-term-leaking-state-secrets-geo-2024-01-30/|title=Pakistan court jails ex-PM Imran Khan for 10 years ahead of election|first1=Gibran Naiyyar|last1=Peshiman|first2=Ariba|last2=Shahid|publisher=Reuters|date=30 January 2024|accessdate=30 January 2024}}</ref>

Khan allegedly has a daughter, Tyrian Jade, with his ex-girlfriend Sita White, daughter of the British industrialist [[Gordon White, Baron White of Hull|Gordon White]]. Born in June 1992, Tyrian became a subject of dispute as Khan denied paternity and willed for a paternity test in Pakistan, stating he would accept the decision of the Pakistani courts. Legal actions in 1997 led to a California court declaring Khan as the father without a DNA test. After Sita White's death in 2004, Jemima, Khan's wife at the time and Sita's friend, was designated as Tyrian's legal guardian by Sita in her will. Khan stated that Tyrian would be welcome to join their family in London, leaving the decision entirely up to her, given her established relationship with his and Jemima's sons.{{sfn|Hutchins|Midgley|2015}}{{sfn|Morgan|2012}}<ref name="thenews.com.pk1">{{Cite web |title=Two judicial verdicts that exposed Imran, Qadri |url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/525912-two-judicial-verdicts-that-exposed-imran-qadri |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180726165955/https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/525912-two-judicial-verdicts-that-exposed-imran-qadri |archive-date=26 July 2018 |access-date=26 July 2018 |website=Thenews.com.pk}}</ref><ref>[https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2004/05/17/sitawhite/ "Imran Khan may take custody of daughter"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180726135148/https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2004/05/17/sitawhite/ |date=26 July 2018 }}, hellomagazine.com.

He recorded the best Test bowling of his career while taking 8 wickets for 58 runs against Sri Lanka at Lahore in 1981–1982.<ref name="Overseas Pakistanis record" /> He also topped both the bowling and batting averages against England in three-Test series in 1982, taking 21 wickets and averaging 56 with the bat. Later the same year, he put up a highly acknowledged performance in a home series against the formidable Indian team by taking 40 wickets in six Tests at an average of 13.95. By the end of this series in 1982–1983, Khan had taken 88 wickets in 13 Test matches over a period of one year as captain.<ref name="cricket archive" /> This same Test series against India also resulted in a stress fracture in his shin that kept him out of cricket for more than two years.

India and Pakistan co-hosted the [[1987 Cricket World Cup]], but neither ventured beyond the semi-finals. Khan retired from international cricket at the end of the World Cup.

[[File:Imran in peshawar.jpg|thumb|Khan at a political rally in [[Peshawar]] in 1996]]
After retiring, Khan admitted to [[ball tampering]] during his early cricketing days when playing domestic cricket.
Khan had said that, during matches, he "occasionally scratched the side of the ball and lifted the seam". Khan defended his actions in the same interview, arguing his conduct was commonplace at the time, even that spin bowlers would lift the seam (i.e. mildly ball tamper); further Khan argued that as he did not lift the seam of the ball above the normal level he was not violating the rules and spirit of the game within the rules defined whilst he was a player. Further, Khan argued that umpires in his 21 years of cricket had not complained about his conduct; Khan remarked that "The sole judge of fair and unfair play on the cricket field is the umpire".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://scroll.in/field/873457/watch-former-pakistan-skipper-imran-khan-speaking-on-ball-tampering-on-a-tv-show-in-1994|title=Watch: Former Pakistan skipper Imran Khan speaking on ball-tampering on a TV show in 1994|website=Scroll.in|date=27 March 2018|access-date=13 February 2019|archive-date=14 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190214002931/https://scroll.in/field/873457/watch-former-pakistan-skipper-imran-khan-speaking-on-ball-tampering-on-a-tv-show-in-1994|url-status=live}}</ref> He had also added, "Only once did I use an object.

In 1996, Khan successfully defended himself in a [[libel]] action brought forth by former English captain and all-rounder [[Ian Botham]] and batsman [[Allan Lamb]] over comments they alleged were made by Khan in two articles about the above-mentioned [[ball-tampering]] and another article published in an Indian magazine, ''[[India Today]]''. They claimed that, in the latter publication, Khan had called the two cricketers "racist, ill-educated and lacking in class." Khan protested that he had been misquoted, saying that he was defending himself after having admitted that he tampered with a ball in a county match 18 years ago.<ref name="legal case">{{cite news |title=Botham, Lamb end legal battle |publisher=BBC |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/348740.stm |date=20 May 1999 |access-date=5 November 2007 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090112101609/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/348740.stm |archive-date=12 January 2009 }}</ref> Khan won the libel case, which the judge labelled a "complete exercise in futility", with a 10–2 majority decision by the jury.<ref name="legal case" /> Also, Khan had served as a domestic league coach.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/131596.html|title=Imran returns to coaching to boost Pakistan|website=Cricinfo|access-date=9 March 2019|archive-date=31 January 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240131115117/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/imran-returns-to-coaching-to-boost-pakistan-131596|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Victory speech ===
During his victory speech, he laid out the policy outlines for his future government. Khan said his inspiration is to build Pakistan as a humanitarian state based on principles of the first Islamic state of [[Medina]]. He described that his future government will put the poor and commoners of the country first and all policies will be geared towards elevating the standards of living of the lesser fortunate. He promised an investigation into rigging allegations. He said that he wanted a united Pakistan and would refrain from victimizing his political opponents. Everyone would be equal under the law. He promised a simple and less costly government, devoid of showy pompousness in which the prime minister's house will be converted into an educational institute and governor houses will be used for public benefit.<ref name="aljazeera.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2018/07/imran-khan-speech-full-180726124850706.html|title=Imran Khan's speech in full|website=Aljazeera.com|access-date=7 August 2018|archive-date=25 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181225223414/https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2018/07/imran-khan-speech-full-180726124850706.html|url-status=live}}</ref> On foreign policy, he praised China and hoped to have better relations with Afghanistan, United States, and India.

The fiscal deficit was also controlled to less than 1% of GDP in the second half of 2020, Pakistan recorded a primary surplus (excluding interest payment and principal repayment of previous debt), but was in deficit once the interest payment on debt was accounted for, albeit the deficit was smaller.

===Views on the Pashtuns and Afghans===
In his virtual address at the [[Seventy-sixth session of the United Nations General Assembly|76th Session]] of the [[United Nations General Assembly]] on 24 September 2021, Khan remarked “Then all along the tribal belt ([[FATA]]) bordering Afghanistan, – Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt – where no Pakistan army had been there since our independence, they [the Pashtuns] had strong sympathies with the Afghan Taliban, not because of their religious ideology but because of Pashtun nationalism, which is very strong." His comments prompted outrage among many Pashtuns, who called on him to apologise. Khan made similar comments also on 11 October, which triggered a protest in Peshawar the next day by the leftist [[Mazdoor Kisan Party]] (MKP). The [[Awami National Party]] (ANP) and the [[Pashtun Tahafuz Movement]] (PTM) also condemned Khan for "linking the Pashtuns with terrorists."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/amp/920082-talibanising-pashtuns|title=Talibanising Pashtuns|website=The News International |date=27 December 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gandhara.rferl.org/amp/imran-khan-comments-pashtuns-taliban/31511322.html|title=Pakistan's Imran Khan Under Fire For Claiming Pashtuns Are Taliban Sympathizers|website=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty|date=15 October 2021|access-date=24 May 2022|archive-date=31 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220531064405/https://gandhara.rferl.org/amp/imran-khan-comments-pashtuns-taliban/31511322.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1651737|title=Pakhtuns not terrorists, says ANP|website=Dawn|date=13 October 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|first=Angana|last=Chakrabarti|url=https://theprint.in/go-to-pakistan/pakistani-pashtuns-have-a-message-for-imran-khan-we-are-not-taliban/749528/|title=Pakistani Pashtuns have a message for Imran Khan—'we are not Taliban'|website=The Print|date=12 October 2021}}</ref>

Khan has published six works of non-fiction, including an autobiography co-written with Patrick Murphy. He has also written about the modern history of Pakistan in his book ''Main Aur Mera Pakistan'' published in 2014 in [[Urdu]] and [[Hindi]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.orientpaperbacks.com/products/product-1|title=Main Aur Mera Pakistan – Imran Khan's Book in Hindi|publisher=Orient Paperbacks|access-date=16 June 2021|archive-date=14 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211114132521/https://www.orientpaperbacks.com/products/product-1|url-status=dead}}</ref> The book contains details about Pakistan's wars with India in [[1965 India-Pakistan War|1965]] and [[1971 India-Pakistan War|1971]], the impact of [[1979 Iranian Revolution]] and capture of terrorist [[Osama bin Laden]] at [[Abbottabad]] in 2011.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thelibrarypk.com/main-aur-mera-pakistan/ |title=Main Aur Mera Pakistan by Imran Khan|date=22 August 2017|publisher=Pakistan Library|access-date=16 June 2021}}</ref> He periodically writes editorials on cricket and Pakistani politics in several leading Pakistani and British newspapers. It was revealed in 2008 that Khan's second book, ''Indus Journey: A Personal View of Pakistan'', had required heavy editing from the publisher. The publisher Jeremy Lewis revealed in a memoir that when he asked Khan to show his writing for publication, "He handed me a leather-bound notebook or diary containing a few jottings and autobiographical snippets. It took me, at most, five minutes to read them; and that, it soon became apparent, was all we had to go on."<ref name="Indus Journey">{{cite news |title=It's a miracle...

<p>In domestic economic policy, Khan inherited a twin <a href="/wiki/Balance_of_payments" title="Balance of payments">balance of payments and debt crisis</a> with a large current account deficit and fiscal deficit in 2018, Khan's government sought a bailout from the IMF.<sup id="cite_ref-280" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-280">[280]</a></sup> In exchange for the bailout, Khan's government slashed subsidy spending in the energy sector and unveiled an austerity budget to curb the fiscal deficit and limit government borrowing.<sup id="cite_ref-281" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-281">[281]</a></sup> The IMF also demanded that the Pakistani government depreciate the rupee and improve tax collection. Khan's government decided to raise import tariffs to collect higher tax revenues and devalued the currency, this alongside the heavy import duty helped to curtail the current account deficit (<a href="/wiki/Import_substitution" class="mw-redirect" title="Import substitution">import substitution</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-raremove_135-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-raremove-135">[135]</a></sup>
</p><p>Pakistan's overall balance of payment's position improved significantly following record-high remittances in 2020, which stabilised the central bank's foreign exchange reserves.<sup id="cite_ref-282" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-282">[282]</a></sup> The fiscal deficit narrowed to less than 1% of GDP by 2020 due to the government's austerity policies,<sup id="cite_ref-deficitimproves_283-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-deficitimproves-283">[283]</a></sup> and the rate of debt accumulation had significantly slowed.

Pakistan ranked amongst the top 10 most improved countries in 2019.<sup id="cite_ref-287" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-287">[287]</a></sup> Pakistan's tax collection also hit record highs in 2019.<sup id="cite_ref-17pc3_141-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17pc3-141">[141]</a></sup> As the government raised more revenue from domestic taxes with no increase in tax revenue from import taxes (given import compression had lowered the quantity being imported so the government collected less tax revenue from imports).

</p><p>The fiscal deficit was also controlled to less than 1% of GDP in the second half of 2020, Pakistan recorded a primary surplus (excluding interest payment and principal repayment of previous debt), but was in deficit once the interest payment on debt was accounted for, albeit the deficit was smaller. Economists primarily pinned this reduction in the fiscal deficit on an increase in non-tax revenues rather than an increase in tax revenues. For example, from the higher prices, consumers paid for oil from state-owned oil companies.<sup id="cite_ref-deficitimproves_283-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-deficitimproves-283">[283]</a></sup> Nevertheless, tax revenues also went on an upward trajectory with Pakistan's tax agency (FBR) both exceeding its tax collection target and collecting a record amount for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2021 in the calendar year 2020.<sup id="cite_ref-FBRtrillion3_140-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FBRtrillion3-140">[140]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-289" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-289">[289]</a></sup> In economic policy with respect to international trade, from January 2020 Khan's government implemented the second phase of the <a href="/wiki/China%E2%80%93Pakistan_Free_Trade_Agreement" title="China–Pakistan Free Trade Agreement">China–Pakistan Free Trade Agreement</a> these renegotiations with China led to concessionary rates by China on Pakistani exports of goods and services to mainland China such as reduced tariffs or zero tariffs.<sup id="cite_ref-290" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-290">[290]</a></sup> The negotiations were termed a "significant milestone" in the country's foreign policy by expanding trade relations in a relationship traditionally dominated by defence and security matters.<sup id="cite_ref-291" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-291">[291]</a></sup>
