Razzaq keen to play his part

COLOMBO: All-rounder Abdul Razzaq on Tuesday said he was ready to play his part for Pakistan at the World Cup after a quiet opening to the tournament in which he has performed a peripheral role.

The 31-year-old veteran of 256 One-Day Internationals batted at No. 8 during Pakistan's thumping 205-run triumph over Kenya and again in its 11-run win over co-host Sri Lanka.

“Definitely, when you get to bat your confidence goes high, but our batting line-up is very strong and I am not getting many chances but whenever I do I am ready to play my part,” said Razzaq.

Razzaq faced just six balls during Pakistan's 317 for seven against Kenya, scoring an unbeaten eight, and played just four deliveries against Sri Lanka, scoring three.

Sharing the new ball with Shoaib Akhtar, he bowled five overs in each game, failing to take a wicket.

Razzaq, who is playing his fourth World Cup said sub-continental pitches favour the batsmen. — AFP
