Jack Leach, the Somerset left-arm spinner, says he was shocked not to be considered for a call-up to Englands tour of India due to concerns over the legality of his bowling action.The ECB confirmed on Tuesday that the problem was raised during routine testing at the national academy in Loughborough following the end of the season in which Leach had taken 65 wickets at 21 in the County Championship. Leach has never been reported for a suspect action by the umpires.While Somerset - Leachs club - insist the issue was minor, it is likely it convinced the England selectors not to consider him as a replacement for Zafar Ansari when he was forced home from India due to injury. Hampshires Liam Dawson was called up in Ansaris place.Instead, Leach took his place on the England Lions tour of the UAE, where we underwent remedial work on his bowling action while also continuing to play. He claimed 3 for 7 in a one-day match against UAE and 2 for 25 in the four-day encounter against Afghanistan, then was named in the squad for the tour of Sri Lanka in February.Leach has admitted he was shocked when ECB tests showed he had an illegal bowling action.When I did the test and they told me I was as shocked as anyone, said Leach. It was only a very small thing in terms of my body position - and it wasnt helping me bowl a doosra or anything like that.After that I just worked my nuts off to be honest, with Peter Such from the Lions and Jason Kerr back at Somerset, in terms of making the changes I needed to. Ive made a hell of a lot of progress, and I was pleased with the way it went out in the UAE.The important thing is Ive come to terms with it, and I feel like Im going to be a better bowler in the future for sorting it out.The news - and timing of the news - is intriguing. In contrast to most illegal bowling action reports, there had hardly been a whisper of protest about Leachs action throughout the county season. Quite the contrary: it appeared orthodox and strong and it is understood that no umpires reported any concerns with it. Coming just as England slipped to a 4-0 defeat, it might be seen to deflect attention from some surprising selections and suggest the selectors were powerless to offer alternatives to Indias spin attack.Jack really has worked like a Trojan since the initial assessment, Such, the ECBs lead spin-bowling coach, said. Hes only made slight modifications but they make a big difference, and weve seen really significant progress.Jack had a tremendous season for Somerset and is an outstanding player and team member, Matthew Maynard, Somersets director of cricket, said. Whilst he was picked up for a minor abnormality in his bowling action during routine testing at the end of the season, this was quickly addressed with remedial work, allowing him to play for England Lions over the last few weeks. I have every confidence that he will be playing for England in the future and that there is no major issue with his bowling action.Towards the end of the 2016 season, as Leach spearheaded Somersets push for a maiden Championship title, his captain Chris Rogers suggested he was not yet ready for Test cricket.I am still a big believer that you need more than one good season to play for England, Rogers said after Leach had taken 6 for 64 at Headingley. With Jack, I think his games in order, I think emotionally he still has a bit of a way to go and I dont think hes be upset with me saying that.He is still a young guy, he has only ever been in Somerset and the challenges in international cricket are a lot more difficult.

This edition of my ranking of the top rookies in the NFL goes through Week 10, and its expanded to 25.Ive also included the rankings of where each player landed on my final top 300 prospects list before the 2016 draft.Here are the parameters, same as always:This is a measure for all games this season, not just last week.Total snap count matters. Staying on the field is a measure of value.Positional value matters, but overall performance and impact on the team matter more.Relative value matters. I ask: Would this player be a starter on most teams or on a good team?1. Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas CowboysPreviously ranked:?1 | Final 2016?Big Board rank:?114Prescott has been phenomenal through nine games, throwing for?2,339 yards with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions. He has four rushing touchdowns, and hes No. 2 in Total QBR. Most importantly, though -- the Cowboys are 8-1. He wasnt perfect agaiinst the Steelers, but he had some great throws on the Cowboys game-winning drive.dddddddddddd Hes the real deal. The Cowboys are his team, whether or not he wants to call them that.2.?Ezekiel Elliott, RB,?Dallas CowboysPreviously ranked:?4 |?Final?2016?Big Board rank:?8The former Buckeye has 1,005 rushing yards with 10 total?touchdowns and is averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He leads the league in total rushing yards, as well as yards before (577) and after (428) contact.?Before the draft, I said Elliott was one of the best running back prospects to enter the league over the past decade, but I didnt think hed be this good immediately. Prescott and Elliott are splitting Offensive Rookie of the Year votes at this point, but a Cowboy might get every first-place vote. ' ' '
