INDIAN spin wizard Harbhajan Singh has recognised Kent bowler James Tredwell's burgeoning reputation.

Variations in flight and pace, coupled with a frugal line and length, made the 25-year-old off-spinner the undoubted bowling hero of Kent's Twenty20 Cup campaign.

Singh said: "You have to have a lot of heart to bowl in Twenty2. He is a brave bowler with a lot of heart.

"He was spinning the ball and landing the ball wherever he wanted to, added to which, he seems a very determined cricketer.

"I have not seen many English spinners bowl that well.

"If he keeps working hard he could be a very useful all-rounder for England because he looks a decent batter, too."
