Razzaq revealed that the passion for the game still runs deep, which is why the 38-year-old decided to give one final shot ."Given the fact that my love for the game is still there, I have decided to give it a shot for one last final time. I am offered a contract by PTV and going to play first-class cricket for them this year,” said Razzaq, quoted ESPNcricinfo.

Hailed by many as one the best all-rounders for Pakistan, Razzaq, who is particularly known for his hitting ability, added that he only wants to participate in the PSL for a year or two.
