Abdul Razzak to lead Pakistan in The Hong Kong Cricket Sixes

All rounder Abdul Razzak has been announced to lead Pakistan in The Hong Kong Cricket Sixes. The 31-year-old, dropped from the national side since the World Cup in April, will lead a second-string Pakistan team for the Hong Kong event, which will be held from October 28 to 30.

Umar Akmal and Sohail Tanveer -- two more discarded players from the Test squad which faces Sri Lanka later this month -- were also among the seven-member squad.
Ramiz Raja, Hammad Azam, Yasir Shah and Sharjeel Khan are the others.
The Hong Kong Cricket Sixes is an annual 10-team international cricket tournament held at the Kowloon Cricket Club and fully sanctioned by the International Cricket Council. The tournament is made for television, with rules and a venue that encourage aggressive batting and high scoring. Because every player (except the wicket-keeper) is required to bowl one over, the format suits all-rounders.


Pakistan have featured regularly in the Hong Kong sixes event which is held annually with teams from all Test playing nations taking part in it. Pakistan have been the champion of the tournament fourth times including three consecutive. I.e. 1992, 1997, 2001 and 2002.
in the last tournament, they were runners up after a thrilling lost against Australia in 2010.
