A natural with both bat and ball, Abdul Razzaq has been touted as the most complete all-rounder since Imran Khan.

His bowling boasts of perfect reverse swing which can trouble any batsman in the world. But it is his batting that is more likely to win matches. He boasts of a prodigious array of strokes and is strong driving through cover and mid-off.

He made his international debut against Zimbabwe in 1996-97, but only started to make his presence felt two years later.

Though his bowling may not seem as perfect as it was previously he remains an effective option for the captain in the one-dayers.

At 26, Razzaq has a promising career ahead of him and is being tipped as a future Pakistani captain.
