Despite losing Raza’s services, Worcestershire continued their winning momentum against Glamorgan on Sunday, defeating the Welsh county by 15 runs in Cardiff to stay on course for a place in the Blast quarter-finals.
Reflecting on his time with the Rapids, Raza said he would have loved the chance to return to the Pears.
“Hopefully when the opportunity comes and Worcestershire wants me to come back. I’ll be back in a jiffy,” he said.
“I think “enjoyment” is the wrong word. I liked it. I liked being part of the family.
“The beauty of it all was that I wasn’t just family in the dressing room or to the Worcester cricket community, I think I became family to the whole county and everyone who came to the field.
“I know they accepted me and welcomed me as family, and I loved being a part of that family.”
Worcestershire are third in their group, level on 24 points with Gloucestershire with two matches remaining.
The top two teams from each of the three groups and the top two third-placed teams advance to the quarter-finals next week.
