Ashes 2023: England spinner Jack Leach ruled out with lower back stress fracture

Firstpost  

Jack Leach was the only spinner named in the 16-man squad on Saturday for the first two Tests England’s Ashes preparations were dealt a blow on Sunday as frontline spinner Jack Leach was ruled out of the series due to a lower back stress fracture. “A scan on Sunday in London has revealed a stress fracture, which will keep him out of the forthcoming Ashes Test series,” the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement. He was the only spinner named in the 16-man squad on Saturday for the first two Tests and England’s depth in that area will now be tested. He’s doing a far better job than I did.” Root’s own preparation for the series had been far from ideal as he skipped County Championship cricket in April and May to take up a lucrative Indian Premier League contract with the Rajasthan Royals.
