Ashes series: Dawson Can Be A Like-For-Like Replacement For Leach; Ahmed, Jacks Next In Line: Atherton

By IANS News June 06, 2023 • 10:37 AM View: 827

Former England captain Michael Atherton feels left-arm spin all-rounder Liam Dawson can be a like-for-like replacement for injured Jack Leach, after he suffered a lower-back stress fracture, thus ruling him out of the upcoming Ashes series against Australia.

Leach developed lower-back stress fracture symptoms during England's ten-wicket victory over Ireland in their one-off Test at the Lord's last week, where the left-arm spinner took four wickets and scans on Sunday revealed the fracture, which will keep him out of five-match Ashes series starting from June 16 at Edgbaston.
