Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq has hogged the limelight with controversial statements in recent times. Razzaq recently revealed that he warned some Indian bookies not to approach him again.

Speaking on ARY News’ program Bouncer, Abdul Razzaq made some startling conversations. While talking exclusively about fixing offers made to him, Razzaq revealed that Indian bookies wanted to rope him for a long run.

In addition to telling them not to approach him, Razzaq said he would report them if they tried to do a similar thing again. He said:

“Pakistan Players Have More Talent Than Indians” – Abdul Razzaq
