England left-arm spinner Jack Leach believes that the upcoming five-match Test series against India will decide where the home side is at the moment in terms of development.
The much-awaited India-England Test series will kickstart at Nottingham from August 04 and the home side will be without the services of their premier all-rounder Ben Stokes.
Stokes has taken an indefinite break from the game in order to adhere to his mental health, the ECB confirmed on Friday.
“Playing against India, who are such a strong side, in a five Test-match series, will tell us a lot about where we’re at.” said Jack Leach as quoted by the Guardian.
Leach was England’s leading wicket-taker during the winter tours of India and Sri Lanka, and having enjoyed success against the Indian batters especially, the left-arm orthodox is confident of doing well against the visitors.
“The belief that I can bowl at these guys and do well. If the wicket is better it is just adapting your skill slightly, ” said Leach.
Leach hasn’t played a Test match in England since the 2019 Ashes. And, while he wouldn’t get the same kind of assistance as he got in Galle, Ahmedabad or Chennai, he is looking forward to bowling on English wickets which he termed as “quite dry”
‘I enjoy bowling spin in England. The wickets generally are quite dry, there is definitely a role to play,” said Jack Leach.
“I guess I’m still trying to work my way in the team on a consistent basis. That’s my main thought: making sure my game is in a good place so I can be in the team and performing consistently,” he said.
