And he also starred on the national stage for the Lions playing in three of their four matches in the series.

His best figures came in the final game as with the series already wrapped up, the Lions sent records tumbling against Sri Lanka.

Ben Duckett (220*) and Daniel Bell-Drummond (171) smashed their way into the record books with the second-highest List A partnership of 367.

Garton came back into the side following Sunday’s victory over Pakistan A and dismissed both for the Sri Lakan openers as he finished with 4-43.
