Former England captain Mike Atherton has said that England’s lack of spin options could force them to change their bowling attack for the Ashes series against Australia. This comes after left-arm spinner Jack Leach was ruled out of the five-match series due to a stress fracture in his back. Atherton notes that the County Championship has been pushed to the margins of the season, resulting in a paucity of spin in the English game. Teenaged leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed and all-rounder Will Jacks are being touted as replacements, while Joe Root’s part-time off-spin could be used more. Furthermore, former England spinner Monty Panesar believes England may pick an extra fast bowler and roll out green tracks tailor-made for a seam-heavy attack. The opening test at Edgbaston starts on June 16th.
