At just 20, Pakistani Abdur Razzaq is definitely proud of what he has achieved in his past teen years. Born on December2, 1979, Abdur Razzaq hails from Lahore and as all know, has made quite a name for him. A right-handed batsman and a right arm fast medium bowler Razzaq played for the Lahore city Cricket association.

Initially spotted by Wasim Akram, Razzaq has firmly established himself in the Pakistani team as a permanent member. Being an all-rounder, he is indisputably very vital to the team, both in Tests as well as One-Day version of the game.

Starting his career in 1996, Razzaq at 16, played an ODI against Zimbabwe. But, he was never really featured prominently thereafter. The reason could perhaps be blamed on poor team management. However, at the World Cup in England, Razzaq definitely made a mark for himself. People sat back and took notice. He not only chipped in 170 runs, but also took 13 wickets. He is a batsman of the dangerous variety.

Not only is he flowing with hot blood, but he has proved to be consistent too. He took the man of the series award in the recent Carlton and United series, where again he couple up an amazing 225 runs with 14 wickets! Adding to that is the fact that the 14 wickets consisted of 3 Tendulkar wickets!

Yet, his injury has been a problem with him, which may hamper the heights he would like to have scaled. All the same Razzaq is definitely one of the brightest of the Pakistani stars today.
