England spinner Jack Leach has said that he has been taking cues by watching Ravindra Jadeja’s videos ahead of the Ashes series slated to begin on December 8.
"I don't think (Jadeja) did too much different to what he does in India," said Leach.
"That's another nice thing to see. He's taken what he does, is doing pretty similar things and having success."
Leach also lavished praise on Australia’s Nathan Lyon and how the right-arm bowler has been successful on the tracks that don’t really provide much spin.
"For years I've watched Nathan Lyon and he's very impressive. Just how strong his stock ball is and on wickets that don't necessarily offer a lot spin wise he's found ways to extract extra bounce, dip, and all the other things," he said.
"They're the kind of things that I've been trying to add in but still sticking to my strengths as well,” he added.
Leach has featured in 16 Tests so far and has bagged a total of 62 wickets at an economy rate of 3.01.
The five-match series between England and Australia will commence in Brisbane.
