Gnani Seguabdulcader Mohamed Sheni Abdul Razick, known as Ghulam Razick (10 December 1942 – 26 October 2019) was a cricketer who played for Ceylon in the 1960s.[1]
Ghulam Razick was a hard-hitting right-handed batsman, a right-arm fast-medium bowler and an outstanding slip fieldsman.[2] He attended Zahira College, Colombo, where he captained the cricket team in the 1963–64 season.[2] He played successfully for Moors in senior domestic cricket in Ceylon, and was selected to play for Ceylon.[2] He was less successful at first-class level, but he played a leading part in Ceylon's victory over the touring English team in a one-day match in 1968–69, taking three wickets and scoring the winning runs.[3]
Razick was born in India when his father was there temporarily on business. He continued the family business of manufacturing shoes and running a garment factory.[3] He and his wife Zeenath Munawar had one daughter and two sons.[4]
In September 2018, he was one of 49 former Sri Lankan cricketers honoured by Sri Lanka Cricket for their services before Sri Lanka became a full member of the International Cricket Council.[5][6]
