“We likewise have the administrations of Saqib Mahmood, who has been splendid across all arrangements this mid year,” Silverwood said. “He is sure, exceptionally talented and won’t be overawed in case he is to make his Test debut. His demeanor and mentality are fit to the worldwide field.”
Given England are profoundly improbable to play two spinners at Headingley, Leach has been delivered from the crew.
