&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Khan Abdur Razzak&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ({{langx|bn|খান আব্দুর রাজ্জাক}}; born 15 June 1982) is a Bangladeshi former [[cricket]]er who played for the national team in all formats of the game. Abdur Razzak is the first Bangladeshi to take 200 wickets in [[One Day International|ODIs]]. He is also the first left-arm spinner and second spinner after [[Saqlain Mushtaq]] to take a [[Hat-trick (cricket)|hat-trick]]. In 2025 he was elected as a director of [[Bangladesh Cricket Board]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Khaled Mashud elected BCB director first time as new board takes shape |url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/sport/cricket/393366/khaled-mashud-elected-bcb-director-first-time-as |access-date=8 December 2025 |work=Dhaka Tribune |date=6 October 2025 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He made his [[first-class cricket|first-class]] debut at Bangladeshi domestic level for Khulna Division in the 2001/02 season. Best known for being a tall [[left-arm orthodox spin]] bowler, he helped guide his division to the National Cricket title in his maiden season. From there he was selected for Bangladesh A (training team for the full national squad) performing well against [[Zimbabwean cricket team|Zimbabwe A]], including claiming 7 wickets for 17 runs in one game in [[Dhaka]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He played just nine Tests. He was more successful in [[One Day International]]s (ODIs) and was Bangladesh&amp;#039;s leading wicket-taker in the format in 2013, when he reached the 200 wickets milestone.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?class=2;id=25;type=team |title=Records / Bangladesh / One-Day Internationals / Most wickets |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=24 October 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130330230720/http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?class=2%3Bid%3D25%3Btype%3Dteam |archive-date=30 March 2013  }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2018, he became the first Bangladesh player to take 500 wickets in first-class cricket.&amp;lt;ref name=first&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22131211/abdur-razzak-tushar-imran-climb-first-class-summits |title=Abdur Razzak and Tushar Imran climb first-class summits |author=Isam, Mohammad |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=18 January 2018|date=17 January 2018 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After an absence of four years, he made a comeback to the Test squad on 8 February 2018 [[Sri Lankan cricket team in Bangladesh in 2017–18|against Sri Lanka]], taking 4-63 opening the bowling, but Bangladesh lost the match by 215 runs.&amp;lt;ref name=razzaqcomeback&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18527/report/1130745/bangladesh-vs-sri-lanka-2nd-test-sri-lanka-tour-of-bangladesh-2018 |title=Sri Lanka bat; Abdur Razzak returns after four years |author=Fernando, Andrew Fidel |work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=8 February 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In November 2019, he took his 600th first-class wicket, becoming the first Bangladeshi bowler to reach the milestone.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27987347/abdur-razzak-becomes-first-bangladeshi-bowler-bag-600-first-class-wickets |title=Abdur Razzak becomes first Bangladeshi bowler to bag 600 first-class wickets |author=Isam, Mohammad |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=2 November 2019 |access-date=2 November 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2021, Abdur Razzak announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/1251571.html |title=Shahriar Nafees and Abdur Razzak announce retirements, will take up posts with BCB |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=13 February 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Domestic career==&lt;br /&gt;
===Indian Premier League===&lt;br /&gt;
Abdur Razzak was the only Bangladeshi to play in the [[2008 Indian Premier League]] making him the first Bangladeshi to play the league. He was bought for $50,000 by the [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] and played in only one match. Despite not playing often for the team, Abdur Razzak believed that the experience he gained from the tournament was important. He stated that [[Anil Kumble]] &amp;quot;was very helpful when I asked him about bowling in Test matches. He told me that given my bowling approach, it is very important to use variations within my line and length. Actually, captains would want a breakthrough from me so without using variations, wickets are hard to come by. Coach Venkatesh Prasad was also a great help&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |url=http://www.cricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/story/353083.html |title=Experience was more important than money&amp;amp;nbsp;– Razzak |date=31 May 2008 |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=8 July 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bangladesh domestic career===&lt;br /&gt;
Abdur Razzak responded by taking his best bowling figures in first-class cricket (8/123). His match haul of 15/193 against [[Barisal Division cricket team|Barisal Division]] were the best in the history of the [[National Cricket League]], breaking the record set three years previously by [[Elias Sunny]], the bowler who had replaced Abdur Razzak in the Test team.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-domestic-2011/content/story/538053.html |title=Abdur Razzak&amp;#039;s record-haul leads Khulna to win |first=Mohammad |last=Islam |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=26 October 2011 |access-date=26 October 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-west-indies-2011/content/story/537129.html |title=Ashraful must perform to play&amp;amp;nbsp;– Law |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=19 October 2011 |access-date=19 October 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April 2018, he was the leading wicket-taker in the [[2017–18 Bangladesh Cricket League]], with 43 dismissals in six matches, a record for the tournament.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=12213;type=tournament |title=Bangladesh Cricket League 2017/18: Most Wickets |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=27 April 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was also the leading wicket-taker in the [[2018–19 Bangladesh Cricket League]], with 34 dismissals in six matches.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=12743;type=tournament |title=Bangladesh Cricket League, 2018/19: Most wickets |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=27 December 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leading wicket-taker for [[Prime Bank Cricket Club]] in the [[2018–19 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League]] tournament, with 19 dismissals in 16 matches.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/averages/batting_bowling_by_team.html?id=12909;team=5189;type=tournament |title=Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League, 2018/19 - Prime Bank Cricket Club: Batting and bowling averages |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=23 April 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was the leading wicket-taker in the [[2019–20 National Cricket League]], with 31 dismissals in five matches.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=13404;type=tournament |title=National Cricket League, Most Wickets |access-date=19 November 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==International career==&lt;br /&gt;
===Debut years===&lt;br /&gt;
Abdur Razzak was called into the [[Bangladeshi cricket team|Bangladesh national team]] for the 2004 [[Asia Cup]] [[One Day International]] tournament, making his debut against [[Hong Kong cricket team|Hong Kong]] in July.  He established himself as a regular fixture in the squad although he was not a regular in the starting eleven. He made his [[Test cricket|Test]] debut in the second Test of the [[Australian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2005-06|Australian tour of Bangladesh]] in April 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After impressing in one-day cricket, he was called up for his Test debut at home to [[Australia cricket team|Australia]] at the [[Chittagong Divisional Stadium]]. [[Bangladesh cricket team|Bangladesh]] batted first and he recorded 15 in his first Test match [[innings]]. A decent start but he failed to take a wicket in Australia&amp;#039;s only innings and he registered a [[duck (cricket)|golden duck]] in an innings defeat. His next test appearance took place a year afterwards against [[Sri Lanka cricket team|Sri Lanka]] where he got first test wicket having [[Chamara Silva]] [[caught]]. He got [[Graeme Smith]] in a Test against [[South Africa cricket team|South Africa]] and he got his highest Test match score of 33 in both innings, once finishing unbeaten. In a Test match against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]], he registered his highest Test match bowling figures of 3–93. This and the next Test in the series (subsequently his last so far) brought his bowling action into question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Suspension===&lt;br /&gt;
Following [[New Zealand cricket team in Bangladesh in 2008-09|New Zealand&amp;#039;s tour of Bangladesh in October 2008]], Abdur Razzak was reported by umpires [[Daryl Harper]] and [[Asoka de Silva (cricketer)|Asoka de Silva]] for having a &amp;quot;suspect bowling action&amp;quot;. This was the second time in his career that he had been reported for his bowling action. A bowler is deemed to have thrown the ball if his arm bends by more than 15&amp;amp;nbsp;degrees when [[delivery (cricket)|delivering]] the ball. It had been expected that only Abdur Razzak&amp;#039;s quicker ball was suspect and he would be disallowed from bowling it,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/story/376043.html |title=Razzak reported for suspect action |date=30 October 2008 |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=19 December 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; however tests showed that Abdur Razzak bends his arm by 22–28 degrees, usually averaging 25&amp;amp;nbsp;degrees although his quicker ball was delivered at an average of 24&amp;amp;nbsp;degrees. As a result, Abdur Razzak was suspended from international cricket, although he is allowed to bowl under supervision in domestic cricket, until he remodels his action.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/story/380284.html |title=Razzak suspended from bowling in international cricket |date=1 December 2008 |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=19 December 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In March 2009, the ICC lifted Abdur Razzak&amp;#039;s suspension after he changed his bowling action; now both his stock delivery and faster ball are legal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |url=http://content.cricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/story/394939.html |title=ICC lifts Razzak&amp;#039;s suspension |date=12 March 2009 |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=21 March 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Return after suspension===&lt;br /&gt;
In July 2009, on [[Bangladeshi cricket team in West Indies in 2009|Bangladesh&amp;#039;s tour of the West Indies]], Abdur Razzak represented Bangladesh in international cricket for the first time since his suspension.
