The all-rounder returned to the national team for the T20 series against Australia in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 in Sri Lanka. However, the 32-year-old cricketer failed to gain the team management’s
confidence, which opted against playing him in majority of the matches in the mega event.
The hard-hitting batsman was included in the side for the Super 8 encounter against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, impressing with a timely cameo of 22 runs, which came off just 17 balls with the help of a couple of boundaries and a massive hit out of
the park. He was not given a chance to prove his worth with the ball.
In the semi-final against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-Tanvir-c90665. The Green Shirts failed to chase down a mediocre total of 139
runs on a slow and low pitch.
Upon his arrival back home, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdul-Razzaq-c41623 lashed out at the captain for excluding him from the playing-11 and said that the opening batsman must be held accountable. The ageing cricketer claims that he would have won the match for the
country, if he was not dropped.
“It was Hafeez’s decision not to pick me for the semi-final, not anyone else’s, he should now speak up and admit it was his own decision,” said the all-rounder. "I was very sad and disappointed to not get a chance to play in the semi-final.
I was mentally prepared for the big match and it came as a huge letdown to know I was not playing.”
He continued, "The only regret that will remain is that our team lost, and lost out on a world cup.”
The all-rounder will now have to answer the PCB; otherwise a strict disciplinary action is likely to be taken against him. Abdul Razzaq has had differences with the previous selection committees and the team managements as well.
