Taking his chance: Jack Leach impressed for England against New Zealand on day one at Headingley
(Picture: Getty Images)It would be easy to assume that Jack Leach is not a cricketer who would fit with Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes’ mantra of all-out attack. You would think that they might fancy a wrist-spinner, or at the very least an aggressive off-spinner, not a slow left-armer.
Matt Parkinson is 25 and a cause celebre, with an excellent first-class record, to whom England were able to give an unlikely debut this month. Moeen Ali is 35 now but out of retirement and is a strong wicket-taking option. Adil Rashid, 34, might be in the mix, too.
