Abdul Razzaq becomes the first Pakistani to sign up for IPL 3. There’s a possibility others might be selected (though for lesser amounts than they would’ve gone for in an auction. No word on how much Chargers are paying Razzaq.
Re: Deccan Chargers sign Abdul Razzaq
He should and I think he would refuse the offer...
Re: Deccan Chargers sign Abdul Razzaq
I don't think so that he will refuse the offer .......
Re: Deccan Chargers sign Abdul Razzaq
so? there is no “availability” issue now? 
bohat hee beghairat ho ga Razzaq ager gaya tu. He has been included in place of an injured international player and in other words his abilities are not worth enough to be selected as first choice 
Re: Deccan Chargers sign Abdul Razzaq
he should and he would.....
who is going to lit his stove then
Re: Deccan Chargers sign Abdul Razzaq
yeah I'd love to see him refuse and take a stand..
but seeing as he flipped over to the ICL so easily in the past, I don't expect that from him.
Confusion over Razzaq’s IPL participation
KARACHI/HYDERABAD: Confusion reigned supreme over Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq’s participation in this year’s Indian Premier League as **Deccan Chargers denied signing him amid reports that the player has been roped in as a substitute. **
The former Indian Cricket League recruit was reportedly signed up by the Chargers as a replacement for injured West Indian pacer Fidel Edwards but the franchise denied the reports.
**“We don’t have a slot and I am denying it,” Venkat Reddy, Vice President (Operations) Deccan Chargers, said.
IPL commissioner Lalit Modi said DC just doesn’t have any money left with them to rope in a new player.**
“Currently, only Rajasthan Royals can have a slot. Deccan Chargers don’t have any money. Only way to bring a new player is through injury replacement. But for that, the IPL governing has to be convinced that the injured player won’t come back for even a single match,” Modi said.
Earlier, sources close to Razzaq said the veteran all-rounder and Chargers had reached an agreement.
“The contract has been finalised and it should be announced soon,” one source said.
Flamboyant all-rounder Shahid Afridi had appeared for the Chargers in the first IPL season in 2008.
After being snubbed at the the auction, Pakistani cricketers had alleged that they were deliberately humiliated by the IPL franchises, a charge that later snowballed into a political controversy.
Pakistan’s minister Ejaz Jakhrani even called on the Indian government to hold an inquiry into the IPL’s conduct in the matter.
Indian sports minister MS Gill on Wednesday said the IPL had faulted and he would like to see Pakistani players in action in the coming season.
When contacted Razzaq refused to confirm the story but said he has got an offer to play in the IPL this year.
“At the moment I don’t want to say anything but yes the Kolkata Knight Riders had given me a contract offer through which I got a visa and then they backed out insisting I would have to appear in the players auction list,” Razzaq said.
IPL commissioner Lalit Modi said after the players auction fiasco that franchises could play Pakistanis as substitutes in the coming season if they replaced a foreign signing.
Let us wait for the dust to settle and hopefully Pakistani Players will get a chance - if not the full season then at least a part of it.
Razzaq ko nahi jana chahiye , Indian Rupee ke peeche na bhago
Re: Deccan Chargers sign Abdul Razzaq
Indians rupia de kar tumhari izat le jayen gay in front of whole world.
If A. Razzaq joins, he should be banned forever from representing Pakistan at any level.
Any Pak player for that matter, who joins IPL now should be banned!
he should and he would.....
who is going to lit his stove then
As if he does not have enough of money already to keep his stove warm, right..
It would be a shame for the country and for himself as well, and it would bring more rift among the team members. Razzaq is an important ODI and T20 team member for Pakistan. If he is in and others arent, there is gonna be some tussle among players.
Re: Deccan Chargers sign Abdul Razzaq
Razzaq is in for another embarrassment. Kol Kutta Rodents or Dhakkan Chamaars will both back off again.
Re: Deccan Chargers sign Abdul Razzaq
It would be funny if the hockey team boycotts and Razzaq goes to India
If A. Razzaq joins, he should be banned forever from representing Pakistan at any level.
Any Pak player for that matter, who joins IPL now should be banned!
Agree with you yaar ICL walay izat to kartay thay humne ager un pe ban lagaya hai to IPL pe kyun nahin laga sakte
