Razzaq eyes second coming

LAHORE - Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq believes that his time is not over yet and he would soon show his class in domestic cricket to stage a comeback in the national team. He said that he got a chance to bat three times out of eight matches in the World Cup which affected his overall performance. "The team management shuffled my batting order to the requirement of the time and for that I have no objection and have tried my best to come up to the expectations. I always wanted to

Kamran, Younis, Razzaq axed from team for WI tour

LAHORE - Many new faces have been selected in the Pakistan team for the West Indies series after seniors Younis Khan, Abdul Razzaq and Kamran Akmal and Umer Gul were shown the doors. Akmal was heavily criticised for his poor wicketkeeping as he dropped crucial catches and missed stumpings during the World Cup. Razzaq took only five wickets and made 104 runs in eight World Cup games while Younis, who started the World Cup very impressively, made just 69 runs in last five matches.

Razzaq keen to play his part

COLOMBO - All-rounder Abdul Razzaq on Tuesday said he was ready to play his part for Pakistan at the World Cup after a quiet opening to the tournament in which he has performed a peripheral role. The 31-year-old veteran of 256 one-day internationals batted at number eight during Pakistan's thumping 205-run triumph over Kenya and again in their 11-run win over co-hosts Sri Lanka.
"Definitely, when you get to bat your confidence goes high, but our batting line-up is very strong

Razzaq not being utilised properly

EXPERT COMMENT - I believe Pakistan should opt for specialist bowlers in their match against Sri Lanka, and in the later matches as well. Sri Lanka are familiar with the conditions and only specialists bowlers can unsettle them.
I would prefer to Kamran Akmal open the innings with either Hafeez or Ahmad Shehzad, with Younus Khan batting at number three and Razzaq also going up the order.
I think Razzaq's abilities are being wasted in these conditions. At the number eight

Abdur Razzaq joins 250-match club

COMMENT - Abdur Razzaq became the seventh Pakistani and 35th player overall to play 250 or more matches in limited overs international cricket. The abandoned match between Pakistan at New Zealand at Queenstown Events Centre on Wednesday (January 26) was 250th for this all rounder.
The right hand lower order batsman and right arm fast medium pace bowler from Lahore who made his international debut against Zimbabwe at Lahore on November 1, 1996, took 14 years and 87 days to reach

Razzaq not happy with IPL exclusion

LAHORE - Pakistan star all-rounder Abdul RAzzaq, who is yet to make an appearance in the Indian Premier League, feels disappointed over the exclusion of the Pakistan players from the tournament.
The IPL auction for the IV edition is to take place today without the inclusion of the Pakistan players. Although many Pakistan players played in the inaugural edition but Razzaq is yet to try his luck in the cash-rich tournament as he was associated with the unofficial Indian Cricket

Incredible Razzaq ruins South Africa’s run

DUBAI: Woken-up Abdul Razzaq hit a belligerent unbeaten hundred to help Pakistan pull off an incerdible win in the second one-day international against South Africa here on Sunday.
The dashing 30-year-old all-rounder hit a quickfire 109 off just 72 balls studded with ten towering sixes and seven fours to help Pakistan overhaul a daunting 288-run target with just one wicket and one delivery to spare.
