Jack Leach told to "follow Andy Murray's example" to save England career by Monty Panesar

Monty Panesar believes Jack Leach can learn from tennis star Andy Murray as he bids to nail down his spot as England 's first-choice spinner.

Leach has had a difficult start to the summer, having been withdrawn from the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's after suffering concussion while fielding. The Test was Leach's first at home since the final Test of the 2019 Ashes and unfortunately ended before he got the chance to bowl.

He did retain his place in the side for the second Test at Trent Bridge but struggled to make much of an impact, picking up match figures of 3-226 at an average of 75.33. And Panesar, who played 50 Tests for England, has urged Leach to "follow Andy Murray's example" and start working with his own specialist spin coach.
