Ellis’ praise came after the match against Adelaide Strikers as Rishad took 3-26 to contribute in the side’s 37-run victory. “There was a short side here tonight and Rishad took it with both hands with a smile on his face. Citing Rishad ‘world class’, Ellis further said that he was also glad that the leg-spinner will be with the side for the entire season. “I have to give credit to our spinners again; they (Rishad and Rehan Ahmed) have been brilliant for us this year.
