He played for Hyderabad Heroes in the Indian Cricket League in 2007-2008. His excellent skills in the last over of the finals, allowed his team to take a 1-0 lead in the best of three finals. The finals were eventually won by Hyderabad Heroes, 2-0 and Abdul Razzaq a Cricket Hero of sorts.

At the age of 20 he became the youngest bowler to take a hat-trick, against Sri Lanka in 2000. He has batted at every position from an opener to No.11 and has played brilliantly at each stage.

The reason he was first noticed was his bowling but it is his batting that has the power to win matches. His bowling is characterized by a galloping approach, reverse-swing and accuracy. He has a wide array of strokes under his belt and is particularly in strong driving through cover and mid-off off both front and back foot.

Abdul Razzaq has signed to play for the Lions franchise a Johannesburg based team in the domestic twenty-over competition in 2012 with his teammate Shahid Afridi.

He has a proud domestic Twenty20 record across continents, with 1815 runs at a strike-rate of 142 and 102 wickets at an average of 20.73  He is a patient player with a persistent eye. He is stable and has no controversy to his name. Rational thinking and clear goals will help Abdul Razzaq rise to become a player who will go down in history as a great player.
