It is as good a leg-break that you can possibly see.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Statistics also back up Warne&#39;s claims, with Yasir currently averaging just 10.46 with the ball and ranked as the fourth best Test bowler in the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, it might be tough for the 30-year-old to straightaway hit form as he coming off a three-month ban for failing a drug test. He too expects to face a tough challenge in England.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There would be no better place to make a successful comeback to Test cricket than England and I am looking forward to the first Test at Lord&#39;s,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am looking forward to bowling to the English batsmen in their own backyard. It will be a big challenge but I love challenges.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first Test between England and Pakistan will start on July 14.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Agency.<\/p>\r\n",
