Abdul Razzaq included in PSL draft list

KARACHI: The Pakistan Super League (PSL) Governing Council has decided to include discarded big-hitting all-rounder Abdul Razzaq in the PSL draft list, with the draft set to be held on December 21-22 at the Lahore University of Management Sciences.

Razzaq, who will be playing in the Masters Cricket League (MCL) as well, was a regular match winner for Pakistan but was initially overlooked from the draft list.

However, he will now be part of Pakistan’s first-ever high-profile T20 league draft.

The 36-year-old last played a match for Pakistan two years ago when he was part of the T20I team that took on South Africa in Dubai.



Razzaq managed 393 runs and 20 wickets in 32 T20Is for Pakistan while he has accumulated 2,524 runs and 133 scalps in domestic T20 competitions.

“Razzaq will be part of the PSL draft now as his name was included as a last-minute change in the list,” a PSL official told The Express Tribune.



 

“He is likely to be placed in the Silver category where he would be in $25,000 bracket. The franchises now have an interesting option at their disposal because they have a player with loads of experience at a cheap price.”

Razzaq was part of World T20 winning squad in 2009 led by Younis Khan.
