The tour proved to be most fruitful for Washington, who had missed fairly just a few assignments within the latest previous owing to accidents.

Shastri was effusive in his reward for the all-rounder, who made a composed 51 off 64 balls in robust circumstances on the Hagley Oval, days after his good cameo within the sequence opener.

“He regarded organised, he left the ball properly and the stability was fabulous and his footwork very constructive.
