Jack Leach has emerged as England’s first injury concern on their tour of India after picking up a knee problem that saw him hampered during a tough second day for the tourists in Hyderabad.
The 32-year-old is the one experienced spinner in England’s ranks but was visibly struggling during India’s march to 421 for seven and a first innings lead of 175 runs. Though Leach is returning from the lower- back stress fracture that ruled him out of last summer’s Ashes, an awkward tumble on the first evening caused this latest issue.
