Ashes: Stokes Dubs Bashir As 'No 1 Spinner' After Brisbane Snub

By IANS News December 03, 2025 • 15:30 PM View: 486

Ben Stokes: England captain Ben Stokes has reiterated Shoaib Bashir’s position as the team’s leading spinner, despite Will Jacks being selected instead for the second Ashes Test in Brisbane.

England have named their XI for the second Test of the Ashes series on Tuesday and called up Will Jacks for the pink-ball game to replace injured Mark Wood.

On the eve of the day-night match in Brisbane, Stokes stressed that the call was shaped by conditions and team balance rather than any loss of faith in Bashir.
