LONDON: English cricket county Leicestershire have signed Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq as their second overseas player for the forthcoming FL T20 tournament.
The 31-year-old joins Australian Andrew McDonald to complete the overseas contingent after a move for India all-rounder Irfan Pathan fell through.
“I think this shows our ambition,” Leicester's chief executive Mike Siddall told Cricinfo.
“We had a little bit of money available with Andrew McDonald going to the IPL. We want to do better than last year in the T20 when we lost seven home matches.”
Razzaq with 46 Test caps has played in 262 one-day internationals and 26 Twenty20 internationals. He has a career Twenty20 bowling average of 19.64.
He has previously played for Hampshire, Surrey, Worcestershire & Middlesex counties. Leicestershire open their FL t20 campaign at Northamptonshire on Friday.
