Pakistan's Imran Khan is arguably one of the most legendary cricket players of all time - not to mention a very powerful politician.

Khan played cricket at the national level for nearly two decades, winning Pakistan's only world cup trophy in 1992 and becoming a national hero.

He has a record of more than 3,000 runs and almost 400 wickets in Test cricket, making him one of eight world cricketers to achieve an 'All-rounder's Triple' in Test matches.

After Khan's successful career as one of the world's best cricketers, he turned his attention to politics.

In 1996, Khan founded his own political organization known as Pakistan's Movement for Justice - he was later elected to Pakistan's parliament from 2002 to 2007.

Imran Khan will be our Connector of the Day on Thursday night's Connect the World.

Do you want to know what he thinks of cricket today? Maybe you want to know what he thinks of the current political situation in Pakistan?
