Veteran left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak became the first Bangladeshi bowler to take 400 wickets in the List A cricket, a feat that he achieved today during a Dhaka Premier League (DPL) match between Prime Bank Cricket Club and Uttara Sporting Club, reports BSS.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Playing for Prime Bank, Razzak claimed 4-15 to rattle Uttara Sporting Club and guided his side to 57-run win by D\/L method. With these four wickets, his wicket-tally now stands 403.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI am really happy to reach the milestone as the first Bangladeshi bowler in List A cricket,\u201d Razzak told the BSS today. \u201cBut it was on the card. I expected it to happen at some point of my career. But honestly that was not the target. In fact I never set any target for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Though the veteran left-arm spinner continued performing well in domestic level, a national call-up looked unlikely for him, something what he also knows very well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI know at this stage, it is tough to get a national call-up. A national call-up indeed is not in my hands. What is in my hand, is to perform better. And I will be happy if I can perform well regularly. That\u2019s the ultimate goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Razzak has also been quite a force in the country\u2019s first class cricket, taking wickets in abundance. His performance forced his way back to the Bangladesh\u2019s Test squad last year during the series against Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I said I believe in performing. Rest of the things will depend on the team management and the selectors. I will be happy to perform always. And I feel fresh still.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
