4th Test: Jack Leach To Undergo Surgery On Left Knee After Being Ruled Out Of India Tour

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: England’s left-arm spinner Jack Leach revealed that he will undergo surgery on the left knee, which he injured during the first Test against India and was subsequently ruled out of the ongoing tour.

Leach hurt his left knee while fielding on the first day of the Test series opener in Hyderabad, where he collided with the ground after diving to stop a boundary. On day two of the match, Leach aggravated the injury, which meant he picked a swelling on his injured knee and was unable to bowl long bowling spells, though he did bowl 26 overs in the first innings.

But Leach managed to bowl 10 overs in the second innings, and took out Shreyas Iyer as England secured a famous 28-run victory at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. He missed the next Test at Visakhapatnam and was expected to be fit in time for the third Test at Rajkot. But it was decided during England’s break at Abu Dhabi that Leach won’t take any part for England in the remaining three Tests.
