The England team suffered a significant setback even before the Visakhapatnam Test match against India, which started on 2 February. The team's leading spin bowler, Jack Leach, is out of this crucial match. Jack Leach was injured during the Hyderabad Test match, so he will not be able to play in the second Test match.

Jack Leach was injured trying to block a boundary on the first day of play. After this, he also got injured at the same place on the second day, which increased his injury. For this reason, he bowled only 16 overs on the second day of the game. He was made to bowl a spell of four overs each and had to go out of the field for treatment.
