Abdul Razzaq was a key figure as Leicestershire Foxes landed the Friends Life t20 title in 2011 and the Club is delighted to announce his return for more t20 action in 2012.

Razzaq, who has played 26 t20 internationals for Pakistan, was part of the Hampshire Royals side that won the tournament in 2010 and followed that up with another triumph with the Foxes.

His breathtaking 62 not out from 30 balls at Lancashire Lightning helped to ignite the Foxes season. Razzaq and Wayne White guided the team to a thrilling victory with a stand of 66 in just 28 balls.

Head Coach Phil Whitticase described Razzaq as the “final piece of the jigsaw” and his explosive batting and controlled bowling were vital factors in the success story.

Razzaq scored 263 runs and picked up 18 wickets and also represented the Foxes in the Nokia Champions League T20 tournament in India.

Razzaq has a domestic t20 hundred to his name and has two four-wicket hauls under his belt. His bowling is generally pacy but Razzaq is also renowned for slower deliveries that bamboozle the opposition.

The all-rounder has plenty of international experience; he has played in 46 test matches, 262 ODIs and those aforementioned 26 T20Is, including three ICC World Cups and two ICC World twenty20 Cups.

He registered a highest test score of 134 and a best bowling performance of 5-35. Razzaq has three test centuries and three ODI tons to his name, while his best first-class score is 203*.

Razzaq, who has also appeared for Surrey, Worcestershire, Middlesex and Hampshire in county cricket, has claimed eleven five-fors in his first-class career as well as 13 four-wicket hauls in one-day cricket.
