Jack Leach to Miss Second Test Against India Due to Knee Injury

Jack Leach will miss England’s second Test against India due to a knee injury. Leach who experienced discomfort during the first Test has been ruled out after bruising and swelling developed on his left knee. This absence presents an opportunity for his Somerset teammate Shoaib Bashir to potentially make his international debut.

Despite Bashir’s limited experience he impressed during pre-series training and could be in contention for selection. Meanwhile, India is contending with their own injury issues with key players such as Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli unavailable.

England remains focused on the upcoming match with Zak Crawley emphasizing the need to stay grounded and focused on the task at hand.
