England spinner Jack Leach will be undergoing knee surgery to recover from an injury that ruled him out of the final four Tests of England's series against India in the subcontinent. Leach was part of England's impressive 28-run win at Hyderabad and took a wicket in the match. But he suffered an injury in the match and was replaced by youngster Shoaib Bashir in the second Test. Leach had to fly back home from a mid-series break in Abu Dhabi to continue his recovery. "I am going to have an operation to get the rest of the swelling out because it is not budging," Leach told BBC Radio 5 Live as quoted by Sky Sports.

A lighthearted exchange between India batter Sarfaraz Khan and England spinner Shoaib Bashir has taken the internet by storm. The incident happened in the 103rd over of England's first innings when Bashir came out to bat, following Ollie Robinson's dismissal. As Bashir was taking his guard, Sarfaraz decided to have a go at him, questioning the England youngster about his Hindi language skills. While Sarfaraz was confident that Bashir doesn't understand Hindi, the England star caught him off guard with his response.
The Indian cricket team got a rude shock on the second day of the fourth Test against England in Ranchi on Saturday. Their famed batting line-up was no match for England's bowling. After the visitors put up a 353, courtesy Joe Root's unbeaten 122, much was expected from the Indian batters. However, barring Yashasvi Jaiswal's 73 off 117 balls, none of the the batters including Rohit Sharma could score big. It raised a lot of question on the reason behind India's debacle.
Joe Root smashed an unbeaten century to help England post 353 in the first innings of their fourth Test against India in Ranchi. Root, who had come under severe criticism in the 3rd Test, led the charge with the bat, smashing an unbeaten 122 after the visitors opted to bat. England were reeling at 112/5 at one stage before Root led the recovery on Day 1, stitching crucial partnerships with Jonny Bairstow (38), Ben Foakes (47) and Ollie Robinson (58). Former England captain Michael Atherton spoke on how the visitors should approach the game on Day 2.
India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey on Friday said the pitch at the JSCA Sports Complex was not a rank turner but they did not expect to play so slow on the second day itself. The hosts were reeling at 219 for seven at the end of day two with England off-spinner Shoiab Bashir grabbed a brilliant 4/84 in his second Test. "Considering the nature of the games we've had previously here, the wicket tends to get slower as the day progresses," Mhambrey said after the second day's play.
