Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
A national call up came soon as he was picked up for the Asia Cup in 2004. He had a good debut, picking up 3 wickets against Hong Kong, but was reported for a suspect action after the next game. He played just one more ODI in the next one year but made his way back after changing his action. A Test call up came when Australia toured Bangladesh in 2006 but Razzak failed to impress. He had more success in the One Day format and put up a good show in the 2006 Champions Trophy. Two months later, in December 2006, Razzak achieved his career best bowling figures of 5 for 33 in a match against Zimbabwe.
But his problems with the bowling action returned in 2008 when he was reported for chucking once again. An independent analysis found that he was bending his arm by 28 degrees, which was 14 degrees more than the permissible limit. As a result, he was suspended from bowling for one year. However, Razzak impressed after his return in 2009, picking up 7 wickets in 2 matches against West Indies in 2009. He followed it up with a Man of the Series performance against the visiting Zimbabweans, where he picked up 15 wickets from the 5 match series. He continued to perform well in the pre- World Cup games and was especially impressive in the sub-continent, forming a formidable spin pair with captain Shakib Al Hasan.
Razzak was the only Bangladeshi player to play in the Indian Premier League's inaugural season in 2008. He represented Royal Challengers Bangalore and although he got just one game, Razzak said he gained a lot from the experience of talking to legends like Anil Kumble. On 28 March 2013, Razzak picked up 5 wickets in the 3rd ODI against Sri Lanka and became the first bowler from Bangladesh to get 200 ODI wickets. He also has the fastest fifty by a Bangladeshi batsmen. The innings was played against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo on 5 May 2013. Razzak was also part of the side that played the 2014 Asia Cup, he was in the team when Afghanistan beat them and they failed to win a single game in the tournament.
Since 2014, Razzak hadn't played an international game but didn't lose hope of a comeback. His self-belief and hard work didn't fail him as he earned a recall for the home series against Sri Lanka in January 2018. The call up came on the basis of a strong domestic season where he is currently the leading wicket-taker. At the fag end of his career, the canny left-arm spinner will hope to add value to the Bangladesh outfit with his vast experience.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
In a country full of left-arm spinners, few reached the heights Abdur Razzak did. He was the first Bangladesh bowler to get to 200 wickets in ODIs and 600 in first-class cricket.
Razzak took 13 wickets in the 2007 World Cup, including 3 for 38 in Bangladesh's famous win over India, and has an ODI hat-trick as well, taken against Zimbabwe in 2010.
But for all his success, he didn't quite make it as a Test bowler. He debuted in 2006 but played only 12 matches in eight years before suffering a drop in form in 2014 and falling out of favour in all formats.
There was some doubt about his bowling action, and he was reported for it in only his second ODI in 2004 and then again in 2008.
He continued to top the wickets charts in domestic cricket, and, at the age of 35, received a surprise recall to the Test side in 2018 as injury cover for Shakib Al Hasan, but played only one Test. Razzak retired from the game in 2021 to work with the BCB.
