Speaking for a YouTube channel Pakistan Cricket, Razzaq revealed that the experience of facing tough bowlers like Wasim Akram, Glenn McGrath and Shoaib Akhtar would relatively reduce the threat posed by Jasprit Bumrah as compared to the modern generation of players. He said:
Abdul Razzaq on Jasprit Bumrah from 13:38 min to 14:27 min
Razzaq explained the reason behind Bumrah’s success at the international level despite an awkward action. In a way, Razzaq ended up complementing Bumrah for his success and revealed that the ball release and the use of seam from the lanky pacer made him a real force in the modern game. He stated:
Razzaq expressed his concerns over the lack of quality and class in today’s generation of players and compared it to the ’90s cricket. He said:
Speaking on comparisons between batting legend Sachin Tendulkar and current Indian skipper Virat Kohli, Razzaq was quick to dismiss any comparisons and placed Tendulkar well above Kohli. He said:
In his international career for Pakistan, Razzaq played 46 Tests and 265 ODIs, scoring 1946 and 5080 runs in both formats respectively. He also played in 32 T20Is, scoring 393 runs with the highest score of 46 not out and ended up taking 389 wickets across all the three formats of the game.
