Nasir Hussain Wants McCullum To Give More Opportunities To Leach

By IANS News June 21, 2022 • 14:03 PM View: 16612

Former England skipper Nasser Hussain has said that despite the 30-year-old left-arm spinner Jack Leach going through a lean patch, he should be given a few more opportunities before new Test coach Brendon McCullum looks at alternatives like Moeen Ali.

Leach has had a tough start this summer, having had to sit out for most of the opening Test at Lord's after suffering concussion while fielding. While he retained his place in the side for the Trent Bridge Test, Leach had meagre pickings of 3/226 at an average of 75.33.
