Sri Lankan veteran spinner Rangana Herath has lavished praise on Yasir Shah, insisting that his Pakistani counterpart is a complete package as a bowler.

Admitting that Yasir is a great find for Pakistan, the 38-year-old Sri Lankan said that the former has got a lot of variation and doesn't have the tendency to bowl too many loose balls, the Express Tribune reported.

Herath pointed out that Yasir's tally of wickets speaks a lot about his bowling skills. The Pakistani leg-spinner has claimed a staggering 76 wickets in just 12 Tests he played.

The Sri Lankan also suggested that Yasir needs to bowl patiently against the Alastair Cook-led side and expressed hope that the promising Pakistani would deliver in their upcoming tour of England, which begins in July.

 

Sri Lanka are currently touring England for a three-match Test series, five-match ODI series and one-off T20 match.
