While Pakistan is on a losing streak in SriLanka, a news-worthy milestone was reached by Abdul Razzaq as he took his 250th wicket in One Day Internationals (ODIs) today. He is now World’s 18th and Pakistan’s 5th bowler to achieve this milestone.
The top 10 list of Pakistani wicket takers in ODIs is below. The ranking in parenthesis is their World Ranking in terms of highest career wickets.

Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
Today is the first time i’ve seen match winning performance coming out of Iftikhar Anjum (5/30). good job.
Pakistan team got its groove back today. Handed over 146 run defeat to SL. Razzaq didn’t play today’s game so his wickets tally remains at 250.
Good Job Razzaq!
I wonder why Razzaq is called ‘lala fauji’ by one of the facebook commentors :) This is not the first time that I’ve heard the word ‘fauji’ being used for Razzaq. Is it because of his stern/expression less looks or his disciplined bowling? He seldom seems to lose it in the ground and may be that is why he got this nickname.
