Jack Leach Is England's 'best Spinner': Nathan Lyon
Cricket Australia XI: Australia’s greatest off-spinner Nathan Lyon has backed Jack Leach as England’s premier spinner, despite the recent rise of Shoaib Bashir, who is currently sidelined with injury and expected to feature in the 2025-26 Ashes tour.
Speaking at a Cricket Australia sponsorship event here on Thursday, Lyon shared that former England pacer James Anderson told him Bashir had been chosen to emulate Lyon’s success in Australian conditions. However, Lyon maintained that Leach remains England’s best spin option.
"I obviously played with Jimmy Anderson last year at Lancashire, and they basically said that they're picking Bashir to do what I do," Lyon said. "So I took a little bit of pride out of Jimmy respecting a little bit of what I've been able to do in my career. But Bashir has been okay. Jacob Bethell is playing this Test match (at The Oval against India), and he looks like he'll take up the spin bowling from Liam Dawson. But in my eyes, Jack Leach is still their best spinner."
