Imam-ul-Haq charted his 12th List A hundred and his second in succession through the course of his match-winning knock for Yorkshire on Tuesday, August 12. Opening the innings for Yorkshire against Lancashire at the York Cricket Club in a 2025 One-Day Cup match, the cricketer plundered 117 runs from 124 balls with 10 graceful boundaries and five towering sixes.

Imam’s innings helped Yorkshire gun down Lancashire’s 294-run total with seven wickets and more than three overs to spare.

Imam-Ul-Haq Knocks On PAK Selection Doors With Special Ton

Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq conjured 117 runs off 124 balls against Lancashire in a match-winning cause for Yorkshire on August 12. He shared a 153-run second-wicket partnership with half-centurion William Luxton to lay out a winning foundation for Yorkshire in their tall chase of 295 runs.

The 29-year-old crafted 51 more runs with James Wharton before he was dismissed by Lancashire’s Arav Shetty. Nonetheless, unbeaten Wharton and Matthew Revis steered Yorkshire towards a seven-wicket win as they bagged four points to maintain their unbeaten run on the Group B points table of this One-Day Cup 2025 season.

Notably, just a few days ago, Imam-ul-Haq registered his career-best List A score of 159, doing so against Northamptonshire at the County Ground in Northampton. Batting first, the elegant left-hander ran rampant with 159 off just 130 balls with 20 boundaries and two sixes as Yorkshire mounted 374-5 in 50 overs. Left-arm spinner Dan Moriarty picked up a four-wicket haul to ensure Yorkshire won the match by 202 runs.

With two successive match-winning hundreds for Yorkshire, Imam-ul-Haq certainly seems to be sending a resounding reminder to Pakistan’s selectors that his blade still belongs on the international stage.

When Did Imam-Ul-Haq Last Play For Pakistan?

Already out of Pakistan’s Test and T20I reckoning since 2018 and 2019 respectively, Imam-ul-Haq last played ODI cricket earlier this year back in April 2025 during a three-match tour of New Zealand. The cricketer managed to score just four runs in two innings as Pakistan lost the three-match series 0-3.

Imam-ul-Haq was subsequently dropped from Pakistan’s squad for the white-ball series against West Indies in the Caribbean.
