Profile

A key member of the Bangladesh line-up, Abdur Razzak, the left-arm spinner, has had trouble with his action, having been reported in 2008 which led to a suspension. However, he's managed to rectify it since and delivered consistent performances. Since the retirement of Mohammad Rafique, Razzak has assumed to the role of Bangladesh's lead spinner and will be backed up by Mahmudullah, Naeem Islam and Suhrawardi Shuvo in the squad.

Strengths

Razzak has proven particularly effective in the middle overs and the captains have also turned to him to bowl up front on occasion. He's opened the bowling for Bangladesh and varies his pace well as well as flight. He can also be handy with the bat down the order.

Key stats

Razzak has 86 wickets in home ODIs at a superb average of 21.10

He has picked up 103 wickets in wins at an average under 15

In global tournaments, Razzak has 17 wickets at an average of 25.88

World Cup tracker

Had an impressive 2007 World Cup where he grabbed three-fors in his team's high profile wins against India and South Africa. He also chipped in with 2 for 30 in 10 overs against England.

Expert view

"Left arm orthodox and the highest wicket taker in ODI's for Bangladesh, will shoulder the burden of spin bowling. Do not be surprised if he is asked to open the bowling which he has done in the past. Gets good turn/bounce and brings the ball back in with the arm."- Athar Ali Khan, former Bangladesh batsman
