Profile
Abdul Razzaq was once quick enough to open the bowling and remains composed enough to bat anywhere, he is discovering that the lower-order suits him nicely. His bowling - the reason he was first noticed - is characterised by a galloping approach, accuracy, and reverse-swing.He is the youngest bowler who take a hat-trick, against Sri Lanka in 2000, aged 20. But it is his batting that is more likely to win matches. He boasts a extraordinary array of strokes and is particularly strong driving through cover and mid-off off both front and back foot.
He has two gears: block or blast. Cut off the big shots and he gets bogged down, although patience is his virtue as he demonstrated in a match-saving fifty against India in Mohali in 2005. After a global amnesty and quitting the ICL, he was welcomed back to the Pakistan crease for the World Twenty20 in England and made an instant impact as Pakistan won the tournament.

Profile
Abdul Razzaq was once rapid enough to open the bowling and remains composed enough to bat anywhere, though he is discovering that the lower-order suits him nicely. His bowling - the reason he was first noticed - is characterised by a galloping approach, accuracy, and reverse-swing. But it is his batting that is more likely to win matches. He boasts a prodigious array of strokes and is particularly strong driving through cover and mid-off off both front and back foot. He has two gears: block or blast. Cut off the big shots and Razzaq gets bogged down, although patience is his virtue as he demonstrated in a match-saving fifty against India in Mohali in 2005. Just prior to that he had also played a bewilderingly slow innings in Australia, scoring four runs in over two hours. When the occasion demands it though, as ODIs often do, he can still slog with the best of them: England were pillaged for a 22-ball 51 at the end of 2005. and then again for nearly 60 runs in the last three overs of an ODI in September the following year.
