Abdul Razzaq signed for Twenty20

Hampshire's squad for this year's domestic Twenty20 competition is starting to look increasingly threatening after it was reported that Abdul Razzaq, Pakistan's hard-hitting allrounder, has been signed by the county.

He will be joining his team-mate and captain Shahid Afridi in the team, and Ajantha Mendis, the Sri Lankan spinner who was one of the leading wicket-takers at the World Twenty20 in England last year, has also been signed.

Razzaq has extensive Twenty20 experience, having played his first game in the format during a stint with Surrey in 2003. His familiarity with English conditions - he has also played for Worcestershire and Middlesex - will also prove valuable.

In an effort to raise the profile of England's Twenty20 Cup competition, counties will be able to include four overseas players in their squads in the coming season but only two will be allowed in each game.
