# Imran Khan captains Pakistan to the 1992 Cricket World Cup

Date: 1992

## The fact

On 25 March 1992 Pakistan beat England in Melbourne to win the Cricket World Cup, with [Imran Khan](/people/imran-khan) as captain. Wasim Akram took the new ball; the ICC staged the final.

## Context

ICC ran the tournament. The PCB selected the side. He did not write a federal budget. A World Cup is still a dated national-cohesion event in a cricket-majority country.

Shaukat Khanum, funded from the afterglow, is a neighbouring later hospital row.

A cricket captain and charity founder does not write federal statutes, IMF letters, or army orders. A trophy is not a cabinet minute. A hospital trust is not a health ministry. A party launch is not an election return. A sit-in is not a gazette. A fundraising dinner is not a Finance Act.

## Evidence and sources

International Cricket Council carries the official instrument or communique. BBC records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [social cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion): a completed global sporting win is a documented national-identity event, not a poverty programme.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a 25 March 1992 World Cup final win with Khan as captain, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later GDP coefficient, or that the trophy authorised a later premiership.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

The ICC staged the final. Teammates played. The state did not bat.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Imran Khan captains Pakistan to the 1992 Cricket World Cup, not a later speech about Imran Khan captains Pakistan to the 1992 Cricket World Cup.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Imran Khan captains Pakistan to the 1992 Cricket World Cup on 1992-03-25 is not a licence to treat every later International Cricket Council communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Imran Khan captains Pakistan to the 1992 Cricket World Cup into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He captained the side. The ICC staged the final. Teammates played. The state did not bat. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
