True, but then in fairness, you could say the same about many sports. It is not uncommon when an old footballer is drafted into a tournament squad because of a late injury.
International standard spinners in England are generally singular in volume and whilst one could argue we aren't doing enough to promote talent (countered appropriately by an 18-year old Ahmed), let's pretend that in a parallel universe Robbo picked up the injury against Ireland. We have a decent array of pace options, which is probably more appropriate to how cricket is played in this country.
Moeen is arguably a better spinner than Leach, the question I have is whether he wants it enough. If he can look the captain in the eye and show it, then fine, let's go with Mo.
PS. Bairstow is a proper keeper!
However, I do feel for Foakes. It was very early in my cricketing days, but I vaguely recall a similar debate over Russell and Stewart - with the latter taking the gloves due to his ability with the bat. I think I got that right, anyway.
