Razaullah grabs a stunner vs England [Source: Screengrab/X]
Razaullah was a last-minute inclusion in the Pakistan playing XI for the match against England after an injury to Naseem Shah before the contest. The pacer made an impact by taking a stunning catch to dismiss Will Jacks off his bowling.
Jacks, alongside Ben Duckett, was threatening to take the game away from Pakistan before Razaullah was brought back into the attack, and the Pakistan pacer was rewarded with a wicket, courtesy of his brilliant fielding.
Razaullah grabs a one-handed stunner to dismiss Jacks
The English all-rounder was looking solid at the crease, and the wicket had eased out for batting as he forged a 30-run stand for the 6th wicket.
Pakistan needed to see him back to the pavilion, and Razaullah provided just that with a magnificent catch of his bowling. The Pakistan bowler delivered a good-length ball on the middle and leg, as Jacks closed the bat face early while trying to flick the ball away.
The ball took the edge and flew to the left of Razaullah, who put in a diving effort and grabbed the ball with one hand to dismiss the dangerous English all-rounder. He took the ball inches above the ground, and interestingly, it was his maiden ODI wicket.
After the Jacks wicket, Razaullah also dismissed Liam Dawson to push England on the back foot.
Rise of Razaullah at the international level
A couple of months back, the Pakistan speedster was an unknown commodity, but he quickly rose to fame after his bowling speed and action were compared with Pakistan great, Waqar Younis.
The youngster showed glimpses of his brilliance with the bat on the England tour, as he punished the bowlers and broke several records.
Pakistan selectors were quick to notice his brilliance as the player was drafted into the T20I and ODI side. He made his T20I debut against Sri Lanka, and made his ODI debut in the tri-series match against England.
The PCB wanted an express pacer in their international setup, and Razaullah provided just that as he generally averages in the region of 145-147 km/h, and has the ability to trouble the batters.
