one-day wicketkeeper-batsman in England" and, along with Paul Collingwood, likened him to Gilchrist in ability. Durham chief executive David Harker stated that Mustard deserved to be called up, stating that his 2007 season was "fantastic". Mustard had a quiet start to his debut tour, opening the batting and scoring 17 in a warm-up match against a Sri Lanka Cricket XI. This was followed by a more explosive 27 from 17 balls in the first match against the full Sri Lankan team, where England fell to a 119-run defeat, Mustard making the joint-second highest score in the England innings. England won the 3rd ODI by two wickets, but Mustard only scored 14. In the 4th ODI, where England recorded their first series victory in the sub-continent since 1986–87, Mustard was caught and bowled for 19. During England's tour of New Zealand Mustard opened the batting for the initial two Twenty20 matches. Though falling early in the first, Mustard scored a rapid 40 from 24 balls in the second, and kept wicket in a manner that Jonathan Agnew describes as "slick and unfussy." In the 4th ODI on 20 February 2008 he hit a rapid 83, his highest ODI score, as England raced to 340, in a match which was ultimately tied. His final appearance for England was in the 5th ODI, when New Zealand won the series.
