Pakistan all rounder Abdul Razzaq speaking with PakPassion.net confirmed that he was confident that he will be fit for the start of the Big Bash League in Australia.

"I've been advised 2 weeks rest by the medics and after that I should be ready to play cricket again. It's a frustrating injury but I'm confident that I will be fit for the Big Bash League", stated the 31 year old.

Razzaq aggravated the injury to his right shoulder in the 3rd one day international in the recently concluded series against Sri Lanka and left the UAE on Wednesday to return to Pakistan for treatment and rest.

Razzaq who was a member of the Leicestershire squad last season that lifted the Friends Life Twenty20 Cup has signed a deal with the Melbourne Renegades where he will team up with Pakistan team mate Shahid Afridi, as well as high profile Australian cricketers such as Shaun Tait and Dirk Nannes, as well as Leicesteshire team mate Andrew McDonald.

The Big Bash League is due to commence on 16th December when the Sydney Sixers take on Brisbane Heat at the Sydney Cricket Ground, with the final scheduled for 28th January.
