England spinner Shaoib Bashir is unfazed by Nathan Lyon\u2019s recent comment on him and respects the Australian for the skills he brings to the table. The Australian had said Bashir had \u2018been okay\u2019 with his performance against India in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, while Jack Leach was the best English spinner.<\/p>\n

Bashir is currently recovering from a hand injury he suffered in the third Test of the series at Lord\u2019s. In six innings, he took 10 wickets at 54.10 on pitches that weren\u2019t conducive to spin. Bashir\u2019s exploits included the final wicket of Mohammed Siraj at Lord\u2019s, bowling with the injured hand, which won England the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has their own opinions and that\u2019s fine. I just stick to what I believe and what the people around me believe. I don\u2019t really look at that stuff,” Bashir told the PA news agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never crossed paths with him (Lyon) but I have been watching him since I was young. I do enjoy the way he bowls, especially his overspin, it\u2019s a great asset he has, and the amount of revs he puts on the ball. He\u2019s someone I\u2019ve been looking at for a while now,” Bashir added.<\/p>\n

Bashir and Lyon will almost certainly cross paths when England visit Australia for the 2025-26 Ashes at the end of the year. The Englishman has become the first-choice in the department because of his height and variety, which would be helpful in Australia. There were concerns over his form in England, but his replacement for the last two Tests, Liam Dawson (Leach was ignored), didn\u2019t do much better to put forward his case.<\/p>\n

Bashir speaks on Australia expeirence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Bashir hasn\u2019t played a Test in Australia but did feature in five matches for England Lions here in 2024, taking only four wickets. He\u2019s determined to take his learnings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned you do get bounce but you\u2019ve got to find a way to use that,” Bashir said of his time in Australia. \u201cI\u2019ve got height but there\u2019s more than just height to extract bounce from the wicket. Just small technical things. It\u2019s just (about) nailing what I do best. If you look at my attributes \u2013 I\u2019m tall and try to put as many revs on the ball as I can, with that comes variations. I\u2019m still learning, still quite young, I\u2019m still trying develop my game and better myself day-by-day. That will never stop. I love talking about the game and I love learning,” he added.<\/p>\n
