England have made their choices clear, as they have cited Shoaib Bashir as the lead spinner for them in the upcoming Ashes against Australia. Bashir is likely to get his first experience of Ashes Cricket, the biggest red-ball rivalry between the two world-class Test teams.
When Nathan Lyon was asked about England spinners posing a threat on Australian soil, he seemed a bit disappointed with England not giving their best spinner a chance. As per Lyon, Jack Leach still remains way better than Shoaib Bashir, who is most likely to play for England.
"I just stick to what I believe and what the people around me believe. I don't really look at that stuff."
"I do enjoy the way he bowls, especially his overspin, it's a great asset he has, and the amount of revs he puts on the ball. He's someone I've been looking at for a while now," Bashir added.

"I learned you do get bounce but you've got to find a way to use that," Bashir said of his time in Australia.
"It's just (about) nailing what I do best. If you look at my attributes – I'm tall and try to put as many revs on the ball as I can, with that comes variations.
Nathan Lyon hails Jack Leach as England's current most competent spinner
Nathan Lyon has extensive experience in the game of cricket, as the 37-year-old is the second-highest wicket-taker as a spinner for Australia, and he is just 2 wickets away from surpassing Glenn McGrath to be the second-highest Test wicket-taker for Australia.
Leach, who played for England in the Pakistan series last year, has not featured for England any further, but has a comparatively better role with the bat as compared to Bashir. The 34-year-old has 162 Test wickets and 500+ First-Class wickets, making him quite a significant name.
