Former England batter Mark Butcher believes Will Jacks has a "really big future as a bowler" after the all-rounder impressed on his Test debut against Pakistan, picking up 3-132 on a lifeless Rawalpindi pitch.
While Jacks made his name primarily as an explosive batter in the shorter formats, he has worked hard to develop his off-spin and played an important role as Surrey won this year's County Championship.
Gareth Batty, Surrey's head coach and a former England spinner himself, backed Jacks to be their frontline spinner and tipped him to emulate Moeen Ali, who retired as England's third most successful Test spinner despite being more of a batter when he made his international debut.
