Abdul Razzaq (born 2 December 1979) is a Pakistani right arm fast-medium bowler and a right-handed batsman and a member of Pakistan cricket team. He emerged in international cricket in 1996 with his One Day International debut against Zimbabwe at his home ground in Gaddafi Stadium, Pakistan, just one month before his seventeenth birthday. He has played 265 ODIs and 46 Tests for Pakistan.

Abdul Razzaq was once fast enough to open the bowling and is integrated enough to strike anywhere, although it is finding that the demands of lower order of good manners. His bowling - why was observed for the first time - is characterized by a galloping approach, precision, and reverse swing. But it's his batting that is more likely to win games.

He has a prodigious wide strokes and is particularly strong driving through the roof and half were from outside the front and back foot. He has two speeds: Block or explosion. Cut the fat cats and Razzaq stagnates, but patience is a virtue as demonstrated in a fifty-saving match against India in Mohali in 2005. Just before he had also played a surprisingly slow shift in Australia, scoring four runs over two hours.

When the occasion arises, though, as often ODIs, you can still slog with the best of them: England, were ransacked by a 22-ball 51 in late 2005.
Then again for almost 60 runs in the last three overs of an ODI in September the following year.

Abdul Razzaq is one of the best all-rounders of Pakistan who made his international debut in 1996 as a promising all-rounder. Initially recognized primarily for his skill with the ball.
On occasion touching 90mph, his accuracy and ability to extract movement suggested he could become the mainstay of Pakistan’s Test bowling attack.

Abdul Razzaq has represented Pakistan on more than 300 occasions, scoring over 7,000 international runs and taking almost 400 wickets. The all-rounder last represented Pakistan in the T20 series between Pakistan and South Africa in November 2013, although his last one day international was in November 2011.

The 34-year-old has been a key member of Pakistan’s limited-overs teams since making his debut in 1996, being part of three ICC World Cup campaigns and three World T20 events. Razzaq has to date played 265 ODIs, scoring 5080 runs and has taken 269 wickets.
Two of his three ODI centuries came against the Proteas, including one of the great ODI innings which he played during the 2010 series in the UAE.

Razzaq has also played 46 Test matches for Pakistan and he has had his moments both with bat and ball, including a 184 record seventh-wicket stand with Kamran Akmal in 2005 at Mohali to save the Test. India were again the opposition when Kamran Akmal and Razzaq helped Pakistan reach a competitive total after being 39-6 in Karachi in 2006, a game Pakistan famously went on to win with Razzaq taking seven wickets and contributing a total of 135 runs.

Unable to find a place in the current Pakistan lineup due, Razzaq was left out of Pakistan’s 2014 Asia Cup and World T20 squads and is currently representing Hem Heath Cricket Club in England where he spoke to PakPassion.net about his experience of playing Club Cricket in England, Pakistan’s lacklustre performance at the World T20, his views on why Junaid Khan has not been used to his full potential, the issues caused by frequent change in Chairmen at PCB, as well as the possible return of Mohammad Amir to international cricket.
