Joe Root Backs Leach, Burns To Bounce Back Ahead Of 2nd Ashes Test

By AFP News December 14, 2021 • 13:45 PM View: 1292

England captain Joe Root on Tuesday backed Jack Leach and Rory Burns to bounce back from dismal Ashes performances, as star all-rounder Ben Stokes declared himself fit to carry the fight to Australia.

Root refused to rule out selecting spinner Leach in Thursday's pink-ball Test in Adelaide, even though he conceded 102-1 from 13 overs as England stumbled to a nine-wicket loss in Brisbane.
