"He has been a breeze to work with, you've all seen his inherent capacity to bowl with the new ball, it's hopefully acceptable."

Tait was likewise dazzled by Haris, who, notwithstanding having promising speed, was famous for spilling runs during pivotal minutes in white-ball games.

The Australian uncovered he worked with Haris to work on his consistency, which displayed in the Asia Cup.

"The main thing that we have been discussing is consistency and I guess that displayed in the Asia Cup," noted Tait.

"He has the speed he has the swing, animosity, we just discussed being more predictable in his areas and making it challenging for the batsmen
