Joe Root is the visitors’ fourth spin option behind the three regular spinners. Leach had sustained the injury during England’s first Test victory in Hyderabad and missed the second Test in Visakhapatnam as a result. “He will fly home from Abu Dhabi in the next 24 hours, where the England team has been staying ahead of the third Test in Rajkot, which starts on Thursday [February 15],” stated the ECB in a media release. The 32-year-old Leach has taken 126 wickets in 36 Tests, besides being a handy lower-order batter.
