Abdul Razzaq the First Pakistani Player to gets contract with Deccan Chargers
After all the furore created over their exclusion, veteran all-rounder Abdul Razzaq has become the first Pakistani player to fetch an Indian Premier League contract this year, signing up with Deccan Chargers.
Reliable sources close to the player said that Razzaq, a former recruit of the rebel Indian Cricket League, and Chargers had reached an agreement under which the Pakistani would play as a 'substitute' for West Indian pacer Fidel Edwards.
"The contract has been finalised and it should be announced soon," one source said.
Razzaq's selection could put an end to the bad blood created between the two countries after Pakistani cricketers were not bid for during the IPL players' auction.
Flamboyant all-rounder Shahid Afridi had appeared for the Chargers in the first IPL season in 2008.
