Jack Leach has learned to take nothing for granted. He is England’s senior spinner while Moeen Ali takes an open-ended sabbatical. Yet even this status is not entirely reassuring.
In Hamilton this month he was omitted from the Test team when England opted for an all‑pace attack, augmented by two part-time spinners, against New Zealand; then he was laid low with a serious bout of gastroenteritis that led to him spending two nights in hospital. He is just about back to full strength as he sets off for South Africa on Friday.
