International career

Redmond scored a century and a fifty in his only Test match, against Pakistan in 1972–73, giving him a Test batting average of 81.50. [1] His century included 5 successive fours off a Majid Khan over and came at almost a run-a-ball. [2] [3] He also played two One Day Internationals. He was picked for the 1973 tour of England, but showed little form, having trouble with his contact lenses, and was not chosen for the Tests. [4] [5]
